Yes. The larger rocks require more energy to move, so may be the first to be left behind by a melting glacier.

Why do glaciers move very slowly yet they are able to carry large particales with ease?
Glaciers carry large objects because of their huge mass. The pressure they exert is enough to carve huge lakes, so sliding a boulder is not a challenge.
What are 3 ways a glacier can change the shape of land?
Glaciers can pick up and drop boulders Glaciers dig furrows in the ground where they have passed Glaciers are able to move mountains out of their way
What accumulated feature moves at a very slow rate yet is able to carve new geologic features like mountains and valleys?
Glaciers
What does glacier debris mean?
A short answer:Glacier debris, or more properly called glacial debris,would be made up of bits of rock that were deposited by a glacier after it had melted away.A longer answer:Glacial debris is produced by the action of glaciers. As you probably know, glaciers are massive sheets of ice that advance and recede depending on the amount of snow that they get and the climate in the area. Because they are made of ice, they are very strong and able to pick up rocks of all sizes, from large boulders to small specks of sand.As glaciers creep along the landscape, they often pick up these pieces of rock and transport them as the glacier advances. When the glacier melts, these pieces of rock are left behind as glacial debris.
What type of mixture is smog?
Smog would be classified as a homogeneous mixture because you cannot distinguish particles from eachother. It looks like one substance hovering over cities. Being able to see different substances obviously would make it a heterogeneous mixture. not to try and confuse you, but if you had better means to analyse the smog, you might be able to see it as a colloid or suspension, where you can see particles suspended in another.

What are the ways that cells are able to move large particles?
Not for sure. Good luck!
A cell that has deformity or irregularities in transport proteins may not be able to?
Move large particles into the cell
Does nonelectrolytes conduct a current when made into a solution?
No. Electrolyte solutions contain ions, or charged particles, which are able to carry a current.

Glaciers are able to flow?
yes glaciers can flow they are much like water exept well solid XD always lolcat123
What did Shekuntla Devi do?
