What is slow moving river of ice definition?

A slow moving river of ice is known as a glacier. Glaciers are large bodies of ice formed by the accumulation and compaction of snow over long periods of time. They flow under their own weight due to the force of gravity.


Which carries more sediment a fast moving river or a slow moving river?

Fast moving. sediment is heavy it settle out in slow water. But a river that just became slow after being fast looks like it has the most, because of all the settling going on.


What is a slow moveing river of ice called?

A slow-moving river of ice is called a glacier. Glaciers form when snow accumulates and compresses into ice over time, flowing downhill under the force of gravity. Glaciers can carve out valleys, carry debris, and shape the landscape as they move.

Fast moving stream


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.


What is a why question for what makes ice melt?

Ice melts because the atoms around the ice are moving faster (because they are warmer). So the faster moving atoms bump into the slow ones (the ice), and make the slow particles move faster a little bit at a time. and the slow particles make the fast ones slow down a little bit. Until all particles are moving the same speed. this is how ice melts.


What do you a call a mass slow-moving ice is called?

Which will cause more erosion slow or fast moving river?

A fast-moving river will cause more erosion compared to a slow-moving river. The higher velocity of the water in fast-moving rivers increases the energy and force exerted on the riverbanks and riverbed, leading to more erosion.


Slow moving water part of a river or lake?
