What else can I help you with?
What a glaciers?
A glacier is a thick sheet of ice.
Would people be likely to see a natural crevasse inside an art museum?
This is unlikely as it's a crack in an ice glacier. It would be very difficult to contain an actual glacier in a museum due to the temperature required to keep it from melting.
Mixture of sediments deposited by a glacier?
the correct answer is till. this sediment, deposited directly from glacier ice is till.
What happens to the ground underneath a glacier?
The ground ice melts.
Which is the biggest glacier in the world?
The ice sheets on Antarctica and Greenland are the largest in the world. They are shrinking.
An ice front is likely to be stationary when the glacier does what?
An ice front is likely to be stationary when the rate of ice accumulation in the glacier matches the rate of ice loss due to melting or calving at the front. This equilibrium state is known as a stable glacier front, where there is no net advance or retreat of the ice front.
What is the name of a crevasse at the head of a glacier between moving and stationary ice?
This site can explain and give you the information your looking for:* http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glacier
What is a stationary glacier?
a glacier that stays in one spot ( stationary )answer 2 the above is OK, but these stationary ice fields are usually called ice plateaus. And they are plateaus because they don't move; otherwise they would be sloping. Actually they may have a very slight slope, but they will appear flat.
What is a glacier snout?
A glacier snout is the terminus or end point of a glacier where ice and meltwater are released. It is where the glacier meets lower elevations and warmer temperatures, causing melting and ice loss. The snout can vary in shape and size depending on the glacier's dynamics.
A glacier that melts as it moves ends at a point called the?
ice front .
What is the front of a glacier called?
The front of a glacier is called the terminus or terminus face. This is where the glacier ends and may be characterized by ice cliffs or a build-up of glacial debris.
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.
Is a glacier a mass of ice or a mass of sand?
The answer to the question is a glacier is a mass of ice.
What relationship between accumulation and ablation is necessary for the ice front of a glacier to advance?
The accumulation or snowfall rate needs to exceed the ablation which is the snow or ice melting rate in order for a glacier to advance or move forward. ~hope I'm right!
What is large ice mass that moves slowly down a mountain across land is called?
It is a glacier. As more snow and ice is added at the top, in the mountains, so the extra weight helps to push the front of the glacier downhill.
Icebergs are produced when large pieces of ice break off from the front of a glacier during a process called?
Icebergs are produced when large pieces of ice break off from the front of a glacier during a process called calving. This can happen due to a variety of factors like melting from rising temperatures or the natural movement of the glacier.
What are large pieces of ice breaking off the front of a glacier?
If they are breaking off into water, they are called icebergs.
