What else can I help you with?
Is the side and the bottom of a glacier weigh the least?
bottom is the heaviest
Does Water pressure increases as depth increases?
Yes, the deeper you are (be it in air, water or any medium) increases as you go deeper, as there is a column of mass pressing down on you, toward the centre of gravity for the earth. The pressure at sea level (average) is 1 bar, which is 100,000 kilopascals! (so, and inflated tire will have a pressure relative to that of 60 or so pascals. Tiny, eh?)
What happens to the pressure at the top of a container if the preasure at the bottom is increased?
The pressure at the top of the container will also increase if the pressure at the bottom is increased. This is because pressure in a fluid increases with depth due to the weight of the fluid above creating a greater force pushing down.
Moraines carried in the bottom of glaciers?
Moraines carried at the bottom of glaciers are called basal or ground moraines. They consist of rocks, soil, and other debris that have been plucked and eroded by the moving glacier. Basal moraines are typically deposited at the glacier's terminus or along its path as the glacier retreats.
The process in which fragments freeze to the bottom of a glacier and then are carried away when the glaciers are moved is called?
The process in which rock fragments freeze to the bottom of a glacier and are then carried away when the glacier moves is called plucking. After the last ice age, stranded ice blocks left behind by the continental glacier melted and formed kettles.
Does water pressure increases depth increases?
Yes, it does. The more you advance towards the bottom of the ocean, the more the water pressure increases. Which is why you implode before reaching the bottom.
If a liquid is added to a beaker the pressure exerted by the liquid on the bottom of the beaker?
increases due to the increased weight of the liquid. This is because the liquid's weight creates a force that is spread out over the bottom of the beaker, leading to an increase in pressure.
What is the pressure causing ice layers to slid over each other called?
Basal slip occurs when the glacier rests on a slope. Pressure causes a small amount of ice at the bottom of the glacier to melt, creating a thin layer of water. This reduces friction enough that the glacier can slide down the slope. Loose soil underneath a glacier can also cause basal slip.
What does the pressure at the bottom of a pond depend on?
The pressure at the bottom of a pond depends on the depth of the water above it and the density of the water. The pressure increases with depth because of the weight of the water column exerting force downward.

Is there more pressure at the bottom of a bathtub of water 30cm deep or at a bottom of a pitcher of water 35cm deep?
The pressure at the bottom of the pitcher of water 35cm deep is higher than at the bottom of the bathtub of water 30cm deep. Pressure in a fluid increases with depth, so the deeper the water column, the greater the pressure at the bottom. This is due to the weight of the water above exerting a force on the bottom.
What force moves a glacier downhill?
Glaciers can slide down slope for several reasons. First, a glacier is made of ice, which is frozen water. Liquid water is slippery. That is important to remember. Second, gravity is pulling on them making them want to move downhill. Third, when ice is put under a lot of pressure, it can melt. The pressure above the bottom of the glacier can cause some melting on the bottom layer. That can make the glacier slide. Fourth, the sun shining on the top of the glacier can make the top of the glacier melt. The water from that melting can go to the bottom of the glacier and help lubricate the bottom. That can help it slide. Mountain glaciers are always sliding downhill. Snow replenishes glaciers and adds ice to the top. If glaciers melt faster than they are replenished they vanish. Some mountain glaciers have vanished within the last 100 years. A few more are likely to vanish in the next decade.
What moraines are abrasive elements carried bottom of a frozen glacier?
Ground Moraines are abrasive elements that are carried in the bottom of a frozen glacier. Lateral Moraines are unsorted material deposited along the side of a valley glacier.

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.
