Louis Agassiz, a Swiss naturalist and geologist, is credited with being the first scientist to discover and propose the theory of glacier movement in the 19th century. Through his observations of the movement and deformation of glaciers, Agassiz helped advance our understanding of how glaciers flow and shape the landscape.
What else can I help you with?
What is a large mass of snow and ice that moves slowly over land?
Any large mass of ice that moves slowly over ice is called a glacier.
What feature is the result of glacier carving out rock as it moves?
The feature that is the result of a glacier carving out rock as it moves is a roche moutonnees. It is a rock formation created by the passage of glacier ice. Or a terminal moraine
What feature is not a result of a glacier carving out rock as it moves?
Stratified drift
Where does glacier ice move quickly and slowly within a glacier?
Glacier ice moves more quickly in the center of the glacier where there is less friction with the valley walls. It moves more slowly along the sides and bottom of the glacier where there is more friction with the rock and sediment beneath it.
What is any large mass of ice that moves slowly over land?
A glacier is a large mass of ice that moves slowly over land due to the force of gravity. Glaciers are formed from the accumulation and compaction of snow over many years.
Who discover the earth moves around the sun?
The first man to discover that the earth moves around the sun was an Italian scientist named Galileo Galilei.
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.
How does a glacier moves a boulder?
none
What type of glacier is the Tazlina glacier?
it's a valley glacier, it moves slowly carrying debris and melted snow.

What type of weathering is a glacier?
it is when a glacier moves into a large rock mass, cutting its way through.
The process in which a glacier loosens and picks up rock as it moves is called?
Plucking is the process in which a glacier freezes around cracked and broken rock and when it moves downhill, the rock is plucked from the back wall of the glacier.
What part of a glacier moves fastest when glacier moves by internal plastic flow?
The center or axis of a glacier generally moves the fastest when the glacier is moving by internal plastic flow. This is due to the greater pressure and thickness of ice at the center, causing it to flow more readily than the slower moving edges and margins of the glacier.
What is material that moves in one large mass?
Glacier
What is a huge mass of water that moves slowly?
Glacier
