When a glacier stops moving forward an out wash may be deposited in front of it?
its not outwash its moraine
When a glacier stops moving forward what may deposited in front of it?
A mass of rocks and sediment is left as the glacier retreats, forming what is known as moraine.
When a glacier stops moving forward what may be do sited in front of it?
Slimp
Will plucking occur if a glacier is NOT advancing?
Yes, because glacial ice is still moving inside the glacier even if the glacier's front is not advancing.
What is a glacier snout?
a glacier snout is the front of the 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.
What moraines are ridges of rock debris formed in front of a moving glacier.?
Ridges of rock debris that form in front of a glacier are called terminal moraines at the point that the glacier stops moving ahead.
What land feature is produced by the sediment deposited at the front of a glacier?
This is known as a terminal moraine.
Will plucking occur if a glacier is NOT advancing?
Yes, because glacial ice is still moving inside the glacier even if the glacier's front is not advancing.
These moraines are ridges of rock debris formed along the sides of a moving glacier?
Terminal moraines or terminal
What is a glacier snout?

What is the loaction of the front of a glacier?
The leading edge of a glacier.
If you are moving to the front of a moving train are you moving faster than the train relative to the earth?
Yes if the train is moving forward, you are moving at the train speed + walking speed relative to the tracks.
Is a forward a defender in soccer?
No. A forward is an attacker. They are moving forward or to the front of the positions of teams. Forwards can at times move back to help defend, but their primary role is to attack.
