In general, ice sliding across rock. Usually applies to glacial movement and its impact on the underlying ground.

What are 3 types of glacier movement?

Three types of glacier movement are basal sliding, internal deformation, and flow. Basal sliding occurs when the glacier moves over a layer of meltwater at its base. Internal deformation involves the slow movement of ice crystals within the glacier. Flow refers to the overall movement of the glacier downslope due to gravity.


What is the difference between regular insulin and sliding scale insulin?

Regular insulin is generally basal and bolus i.e a basal rate that runs 24 hours and a bolus that deals purely with carbs eaten. sliding scale is a programme where a fast acting insulin is released at a rate per hour constantly and increased only when carbs are injested. Generally sliding scale is used during a surgical proceedure when you are starved. It ensures your body gets the correct background insulin when no bolus is required.

What are 2 forces caused by glaciers moving?

As glaciers move, they exert two primary forces: basal sliding and internal deformation. Basal sliding occurs when the glacier's weight and meltwater create lubrication at its base, allowing it to slide over the ground. Internal deformation involves the movement of ice within the glacier itself, where the weight causes the ice to flow and deform under pressure, leading to the glacier's overall advance or retreat. These forces shape the landscape, carving valleys and transporting sediments.
