What situation allows a glaciers size to be maintained?
a glacier has a snowline at the same height as the wastage line.
How can changes in the size of a glacier indicate climate changes?
no
Snowfall and its relation to glacier size?
Glaciers form where more snow falls than melts. So, it really depends where the glacier is. If the area snows like crazy a lot, the size of the glacier would be big. If it doesn't snow that much there, the glacier would probably melt much faster, and be less big.
What are the 3 physical properties of a glacier?
composition, size, weight
What de you call a slow-moving mass of ice on a mountain?
Depending on when it was formed, the size and speed it is moving it could be either an Avalanche or Glacier. If it is an incredibly old, slow moving, large, ice mass it is likely a Glacier; however if it is a quickly moving, small (relatively), ice mass it is an Avalanche.

What is the Relationship between temperature and glacier size?
Temperature influences glacier size.
What can a glacier do to earth?
A glacier can not do any damage to earth and it depends on the size of the glacier if it is huge it may flood
What is the relationship between size and temperature?
Temperature influences glacier size.
How big can a glacier get?
Glaciers can vary in size, with the largest glacier in the world being the Lambert Glacier in Antarctica, which is over 60 miles wide and 250 miles long. The size of a glacier can be affected by factors such as its location, climate, and topography.
How can changes in the size of a glacier indicate climate change?
no

Two factors that effect the size of glaciers?
Glacier size is dependent on snowfall and temperature.
