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.

When a glacier is retreating does the upstream ice is still moving forward toward the downstream terminus of the glacier?
Yes, it is like a shrinking conveyor belt. If the conveyor belt stops moving, then it is no longer classified a glacier; it is then an ice field.
What day do you spring forward in 2011?
March13
When two vehicles collide in which direction do the vehucles occupants move?
In a head on collision, they will be thrown forward in each vehicle.
Is it true that hurricanes travel forward at about 10-15 mph?
False , hurricanes travel forward at about 74 mph (119 km/hr)
Backward and forward movement a shaking or quivering?
vibration

What are the benefits of forward linkages?
Forward Linkages have the benefit of spill overs from upstream firms to downstream firms. Domestic firms benefit from MNEs vertical spillovers and competetion effect.
What is backward integration in steel industry?
refers to vertical integration, that is, a company takes over certain stages upstream (Backward) or downstream(Forward) from its position in the supply chain. A steel manufacturing company that wants to integrate backwards would therefore buy the ore mine. refers to vertical integration, that is, a company takes over certain stages upstream (Backward) or downstream(Forward) from its position in the supply chain.

What is the diffrnece between advancing retreating and stationary glaciers?
advancing = moving forward reteating = moving backward stationary = staying in place
How does rafting use science?
Rafting is in essence a good example for the laws of physics. The water moving under and around the raft propel it forward because the water pushing against the raft has more mass then the raft can use to push back against the water. Once moving, it can be difficult to change the direction of the raft, or slow it down, because of inertia. Gravity in itself is the driving force of rafting. water flows downhill because of gravity, so water will push a raft downhill. As such, it takes much greater effort to move upstream then it does to move downstream, and may be impossible to move upstream in some areas (such as white water rafting) due to the extreme amount of pressure pushing the raft downstream.
Under what circumstances do you wear a military flag patch in reverse?
The stars are always forward on a patch as if it were being held in a procession. The reason for this is it is symbolism for us always progressing and never retreating.
Where is the upstream oxygen sensor on a4.2 2000 f-150?
it will be located on the forward side of the catalytic converter of the two that you will find. it is threaded into the exhaust pipe, it takes a 7/8" wrench or O2 socket to remove it.
What does it mean to hold the line when fighting a war?
"Holding the line" while fighting a war means that the soldiers are not backing away from the territory they have gained by retreating. Traditionally, when the first line of soldiers is down then the second line of soldiers would step forward into the places, therefore holding the "line."
Where is the drivers side forward O2 sensor on a 1996 Dodge Ram 6-cylinder manual transmission?
Don, There's no Driver's side O2 sensor on a 1996 Dodge Ram V-6 as far as I know, unless it is referring to the upstream O2 sensor in the catalytic convertor. I've got a 1996 Dodge Ram 1500 V-6 Long Bed Work Special. It's got an NV3500 manual transmission with 3.21 Rear gears. There are two O2 sensors on the Ram. If you have a stock exhaust system on the vehicle, both exhaust pipes coming from the exhaust manifolds will go into one catalytic convertor. Between these two pipes on the driver's side of the catalytic convertor is the first (upstream) O2 sensor. The second (downstream) O2 sensor is about 6 - 12" back of the catalytic convertor. Matt
Is jet-thrust forward propulsion available for helicopters?
No - Jet propulsion is not needed for the fact that it would suffer from retreating blade stall because of the lack of rotor rpms. They will have to figure out how to get better rpms prior to tackling jet propulsion. They have jet powered helicopters however they are still driven by the rotor system - not pushed by a jet.
When rugby originated?
1823, by William Webb Ellis at Rugby School, England when the football was picked up by webb Ellis who broke the rules of the time and ran forward instead of retreating carrying the ball. The game of Rugby Football was formalised January 26th 1871 and was attended by 21 clubs at the Pall Mall Restaurant in London's Regent Street.
