In general, ice sliding across rock. Usually applies to glacial movement and its impact on the underlying ground.

∙ 15y agoBasal sliding is the movement of a glacier. It is caused by the melting of the glacier at the base, this melt water acts as a lubricant, causing the glacier to slide downhill. This generally only happens in temperate based glaciers, such as in the Alps, where the ground is warmer, allowing the ice to melt. Whereas in polar glaciers, the ground it far too cold so the ice never gets warm enough to melt. Josephine. =]

From wikipedia:"Basal sliding (or basal slip) is the act of a glacier sliding over the bed before it due to meltwater under the ice acting as a lubricant"From my lecture:Basal slip: slip along the base. Only happens in warm ("wet-bottom") glaciers which are not frozen to their bases.
What is the difference between regular insulin and sliding scale insulin?
Regular insulin is generally basal and bolus i.e a basal rate that runs 24 hours and a bolus that deals purely with carbs eaten. sliding scale is a programme where a fast acting insulin is released at a rate per hour constantly and increased only when carbs are injested. Generally sliding scale is used during a surgical proceedure when you are starved. It ensures your body gets the correct background insulin when no bolus is required.
