What is the malaspina glacier?

What is the biggest glacier?
The Lambert Glacier in Antarctica is 100 km wide, and about 400 km long.The Beardmore Glacier is 160 km long before it enters the Ross ice Shelf, and becomes indistinguishable from that, though it is still probably sitting on bed rock.Even bigger in area, are the various ice plateaus and ice shelves, but these are not moving fast enough to be considered glaciers.
What plants are in glacier national park?

What is a large mass of snow and ice that moves slowly over land?
Any large mass of ice that moves slowly over ice is called a glacier.
What is the pressure causing ice layers to slid over each other called?
Basal slip occurs when the glacier rests on a slope. Pressure causes a small amount of ice at the bottom of the glacier to melt, creating a thin layer of water. This reduces friction enough that the glacier can slide down the slope. Loose soil underneath a glacier can also cause basal slip.

How do particles in rocks fit together?
Being interlocked is the way crystals fit together in rocks like granite. It is the overlapping and fitting together of projections and recesses.

What example of water transferring from the atmosphere to the cryosphere?
In New Zealand there are Franz Josef glacier and Fox glacier In the French Alps there is the Mer de Glace The largest glaciers in the world are the ice sheets on Greenland, the second largest glacier in the world, and the ice sheet on Antarctica is the largest in the world. glaciers are riveres of ice that moves very slowly.
