How many glaciers are around the world?
greenland Is a glacier DUA
What is the word to describe arm or leg movement the body?
*Flexion is term used to describe the movement around or at joints in arm or leg, e.g pulling action reduce the angle in elbow joint, *Opposite of this movement is extension e.g pushing something with arms bend at elbow.
The ability of waves to bend around the edge of obstacles in their path?
diffraction
Where are electron found in an atom and describe their movement?
Electrons are located out side the nucleus in atom, and these are called as extra nuclear particles. Electrons are revolving around the nucleus as planets do round the sun
What happened to glacier around the world over the last 30-40 years?
melted and disappered
How do scientists today describe the movement of electrons?
The movement of electrons is like this. They are in rings (not visible) and rotate around the nucleus like saturns. There is a limit to each of these "valances".
How many glaciers are around the world?

How would you describe the movement of the sun in thirty minutes?
The sun does not move. The earth orbits (moves around) the sun!

Do animals live on Lambert glacier?
There are animals that live on Lambert glacier, or at least around it. Those animals are seals, whales, small seabirds and petrels.
How does the glacier erode the land beneath it?
A glacier erodes by the following processes:Plucking: the physical plucking of rocks from the rock face beneath it by freezing around it, then moving forwards, pulling it with it.Abrasion: the scraping of a rock entrained within the glacier against the rock faceRemoval: rocks can be entrained within the glacier, at the sides, in the middle or at the bottom and are transported by the processes listed belowDo not confuse the following with erosion:Rotational slip: related to erosion closely. This is where the corrie glacier rotates round in the hollow, carving it out, but the actual erosion is done by the processes aboveGlacial movement: a glacier moves by four processes: rotational slip, basal slippage, internal deformation and due to gravity. This is not the physical erosion of the rock, but just the way in which the glacier moves.
The process in which a glacier loosens and picks up rock as it moves is called?
Plucking is the process in which a glacier freezes around cracked and broken rock and when it moves downhill, the rock is plucked from the back wall of the glacier.
Who is Margaret on fossil fighters?
she is the girl wandering around in coldfeet glacier
How does a rover steer around obstacles?
very carefully
What is the population of Eyjafjallajokull Iceland?
Zero. It's a glacier and no one lives in a glacier. But near Eyjafjallajökull there would be around 500-2000 that live in a danger sone.
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.
Which is the best analogy describing the location of an electron in an atomic orbital?
The movement of planets around the Sun is the best analogy to describe the location of an electron in an atomic orbital.
