Can you watch a glacier move?
You can with the fastest moving glaciers in the world. For example, Jakobshavn in western Greenland advances about 20 meters per day.
A slow moving body of ice?
A slow moving body of ice is a glacier.
Which part of valley glacier moves the fastest?
Yes, because continental glaciers form faster than valley glaciers.
True or false When a glacier is retreating the upstream ice is still moving forward toward the downstream terminus of the glacier?
A retreating glacier is one that is diminishing more in length that its upper supply regions can compete with. The snout of the glacier is retreating, but the main body of the glacier is still moving forwards. If this situation continues, the glacier will disappear.
What is a slow moving river of ice?
glacier
What part of glacier moves fastest when the glacier moves by internal plastic flow?
The central part of the glacier moves fastest than its edges as it is thickest from the center.
What part of a glacier moves fastest when glacier moves by internal plastic flow?
the top layer whic is compacted snow and ice which is about 15m deep

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.
When a glacier stops moving forward what will be deposited in front of it?
When a glacier stops moving and end moraine will be deposited in front of it.
Is a glacier formed by a flow of a river?
No. A glacier is a mass of moving snow and ice.
What is a large mass of ice and snow moving on land under its own weight?
That is usually called a glacier
What is The fastest moving front is?
a cold front is the fastest moving front
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.
True or false When a glacier is retreating the upstream ice is still moving forward toward the downstream terminus of the glacier?
A retreating glacier is one that is diminishing more in length that its upper supply regions can compete with. The snout of the glacier is retreating, but the main body of the glacier is still moving forwards. If this situation continues, the glacier will disappear.
