Want this question answered?
The central part of the glacier moves fastest than its edges as it is thickest from the center.
the top layer whic is compacted snow and ice which is about 15m deep
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.
the glacier picks up the sediments, rocks, till, debris, and soil and carries them along while the glacier moves and will eventually drop them.
none

you are so stupid
Yes, because continental glaciers form faster than valley glaciers.

Any large mass of ice that moves slowly over ice is called a glacier.

A Glacier.
none
it's a valley glacier, it moves slowly carrying debris and melted snow.
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
