The end or outer margin of a glacier?
There are so many variations of glacier types. If the head of the glacier is high in the mountains, then the lower end could possibly be called the mouth of the glacier?
An example for a glacier?
well you tell me if your a crack head then its nothing hahaha or maybe its your brain saying hello to taylor swift lol. that doesn't make sense, i knw. anyways back to answering the questions. sike! im not answering the question lol. anyways if you think im funny let me know. you can call me at 1-888-588-2300
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.
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.
What is the extension of the head?
Moving the head back is called extension of the head
What is the name of a crevasse at the head of a glacier between moving and stationary ice?

What is a glacier byproduct?
glacial moraine is the debris of rock and gravel brought down a mountain by the action of the glacier and deposited at it's foot.Melt water also forms the head waters of a river
What is a Medial moraine?
Moraine are the rock and soil debris deposited on the surface of a glacier by avalanches and landslips. Those at the edges (the first formed) are Lateral moraine. Those at the terminus of the glacier are Terminal moraine. Where two glaciers join, then their lateral moraines join to become a Medial moraine, i.e. 'middle'. The moraine overburden lodged towards the head of a glacier, tends to slip down the schrunds and is a major erosive component in the abrasive action. Where the glacier travels over a step in its bed, an ice-fall is created, marked by a crevasse jumble, and into this much other moraine is embedded into the traveling glacier. It is remarkable to realize that most of the cross-section of the U-shaped of a glacier's valley has been removed by abrasion - converted into rock flour.

A large hole left behind by glacier is what?
A large hole in the ground left from the melting of a huge chunk of glacial ice is called a kettle Also . . . Large bowl shaped depressions that occur at the head of mountain glaciers that result from a combination of frost wedging, glacial plucking, and abrasion are called cirques

How do you get a spino head on fossil fighters?
Can get a spino at coldfeet glacier, but very rarely.
How high is mount mackellar?
Mount Mackellar is a massive mountain, 4,295 metres (14,090 ft) high, standing at the head of Mackellar Glacier, 3 nautical miles (6 km) south of Pagoda Peak, in the Queen Alexandra Range, Antarctica
Which mountain marks the center of Jamaica?
Bull Head Mountain
Where are moraines found?
A moraine is a unsorted deposit of material left behind at the head (the front of a Glacier
Under what circumstances will the front of a glacier advance?
A glacier is always moving forward (downhill). In the winter, the glacier usually isn't melting and its front edge (or "toe") will advance downhill. In the summer, the toe of the glacier usually melts faster than the glacier is moving forward, causing the front edge of the glacier to recede. If the recession in the summer is greater than the advance in the winter, then the glacier as a whole is receding and will eventually disappear. That is what is currently happening to most of the glaciers in North America and many other places around the world.
