Slope and temperature play a very important role here, the steeper the slope and the higher the temperature, the easier the glacies flows. That being said, a glacier typically starts to flow when it reaches a thickness of between say 50 and 200 meters, depending on slope and temperature. The speed at which it flows is then several meters per year to several tens of meters per year, again depending on slope and temperature.
When the weight of snow and ice is great enough the glacier starts moving downhill under the influence of gravity. This point is determined by the relationship between accumulation and wastage of the glacier.
A snowfield typically forms before a glacier. Snow accumulates on high-altitude areas, gradually turning into firn (a type of compacted snow). Over time, the firn transforms into glacial ice, leading to the development of a glacier.
Corries begin as shallow hollows on a mountain side fill with snow. As the glacier gets bigger, it begins to move down the slope. There is a reduced rate of erosion at the front of the corrie as the ice is thinner here. This makes a moraine. When the ice melts, water may get trapped behind creating a corrie lake or tarn. All of this forms a corrie.
False. Mountains that begin when molten material reaches Earth's surface and then cools and solidifies are known as volcanic mountains. Fault-blocked mountains are formed when tectonic forces cause the Earth's crust to be uplifted and tilted along faults.
A river begins to develop meanders in its course when it has enough energy to erode and transport sediment, typically in the middle and lower reaches of the river.

When the weight of snow and ice is great enough the glacier starts moving downhill under the influence of gravity. This point is determined by the relationship between accumulation and wastage of the glacier.
An area where a glacier has just melted away will begin the process of glacial rebound, where the land rebounds or rises due to the removal of the weight of the glacier. This process can lead to changes in topography, drainage patterns, and ecosystem dynamics in the area.

Glaciers begin to melt due to increasing temperatures, either from natural climate variability or human-induced global warming. When temperatures rise, the ice in glaciers starts to melt, leading to the retreat and thinning of the glacier. Other factors, such as changes in precipitation patterns or albedo feedback, can also contribute to glacier melting.
Once snow and ice reach more than 30 to 40 meters gravity begins to pull the glacier downhill.I hope I helped you!!! =)
Rattata will begin to evolve once it reaches Level 20.

Glacial erosion requires movement. Thus, glacial erosion begins as soon as the glacier starts moving.
It begins in Minnesota and reaches the Gulf of Mexico in Louisiana.
