What is advancing glacier?
A Glacier will advance when the snow deposited in the collection zone exceeds the rate of melting at the terminus. There will be some time delay between these events, even a steep glacier will take a few years between the events.
What is basal sliding?
In general, ice sliding across rock. Usually applies to glacial movement and its impact on the underlying ground.
What term is synonymous with the term till?
Moraine and boulder clay and Glacial outwash are other names of these glacial deposits. But there are subtly different definitions. Best to describe your usage.add But there are other meanings for the word. To till the soil is to cultivate it - to turn it over preparatory to planting. Probably this is the image behind the glacial term.And a till is a cash register - in a shop.
The glacial features that occur in swarms of long smooth canoe-shaped hills are?
drumlins
What are the three kinds of erosion?
Erosion is the process of the movement of materials from one place to another, and the four agents of erosion are ice, water, wind, and gravity. Two types of glacial erosion are plucking and abrasion
What is the direction of continental glacial advance in the US?

Does glacial advance decreases or increases sea level?
Glacial advance would lower sea level.
What is Characteristics of glacial movement?
A characteristic of glacial movement is movement depends on the balance between accumulation and wastage.
What is a characteristic of a glacial movement?
A characteristic of glacial movement is movement depends on the balance between accumulation and wastage.
What is the movement of glacial ice called?
[Glacial] flow
What is a Periods of rapid glacial movement are referred to as?
Periods of rapid glacial movement are referred to as glacial surges. These events are characterized by a sudden increase in glacial velocity, resulting in the movement of large quantities of ice over short periods of time. Glacial surges can drastically reshape the landscape and contribute to changes in local ecosystems.
When does glacial movement begin?
Glacial movement starts near the tops of mountains and ridges when the snowfall is heavy enough to start sliding downhill.
How does glacial erosion begin?
Glacial erosion requires movement. Thus, glacial erosion begins as soon as the glacier starts moving.
