If a glacier that melts as it moves ends at a point it is called the what?
The terminus.
What Are The Components Of Glacier?
accumulation area, ablation area, crevasses,moraines, terminus,
What feature is the result of a glacier carving it rock as it moves?
The feature that is the result of a glacier carving out rock as it moves is a roche moutonnees. It is a rock formation created by the passage of glacier ice. Or a terminal moraine
Faster iceberg glacier in the world?
An iceberg is a body of ice floating in the ocean. A glacier is a land based 'river of ice' flowing from the mountains to its ultimate terminus, wherever that may be. Thus they are very different things. As to speed, like a river, that depends upon the gradient - in the cirques at the head, the velocity would be quite high, but slowing as the glacier grew and its gradient shallowed.
Which parts of glaciers and its triburitaries moves most quickly?
Glacier speed is not constant across the glacier. The top half of the glacier moves faster than the bottom, presumably because of friction. The sides also flow slower than the middle, also because of friction. The middle of the glacier at the equilibrium line flows fastest, the head and terminus flow slower. Above the equilibrium line the glacier grows faster than it melts; this is called the accumulation zone. Below the equilibrium line, the glacier melts faster than it grows; this is called the ablation zone.
Which part of a glacier is referred to as the snout or toe?
The terminus

Is the end of a glacier called a crevasse iceberg or terminus?
My guess is 'Terminus' without looking it up, because a crevasse is the bg holes like a slice out of the glacier and most of us know that an iceberg is what sank the ship in Titanic.
Would you please use the word 'terminus' in a sentence?
Terminus is Latin for boundary stone.The bus line's last stop is it's terminus.The terminus of a glacier is it's snout at any given time.
Where is Caird Coast?
Caird Coast is that portain of the coast that coats land lying between the terminus of Stancomb-Wills glacier and the vincinily of the Hayes glacier in Antarctia.
When a glacier is retreating does the upstream ice is still moving forward toward the downstream terminus of the glacier?
Yes, it is like a shrinking conveyor belt. If the conveyor belt stops moving, then it is no longer classified a glacier; it is then an ice field.
True or false When a glacier is retreating the upstream ice is still moving forward toward the downstream terminus of the glacier?
A retreating glacier is one that is diminishing more in length that its upper supply regions can compete with. The snout of the glacier is retreating, but the main body of the glacier is still moving forwards. If this situation continues, the glacier will disappear.

What are two ways glaciers erode Earths surface?
The glacier scrapes the surface of the earth as it advances, then deposits that till at its terminus when it melts.
Which feature is not a result of a glacier carving out rocks as it moves?
A nose is not a feature carved out by a glacier. If you want to ask a multiple choice question on this site, you have to include the choices in the question.
