What kind of glacier is Vatnajokull Glacier?

Vatnajökull Glacier is an ice cap glacier located in Iceland. It is the largest glacier in Europe by volume and covers an area of around 8,100 square kilometers. Vatnajökull is a temperate glacier, meaning it has a mixture of ice at its base and can flow due to meltwater lubricating its movement.


What is the function of residual volume?

The function of residual volume is to keep enough pressure in the lungs to keep them from collapsing.


By how much did Peyto glacier change since the past century?

It is estimated that Peyto Glacier has lost approximately 70% of its volume over the last century due to climate change. This loss is evident in the retreat of the glacier's terminus and reduction in its surface area.


How much of a glacier is above the water line?

Over 90% of an iceberg's volume (and mass) is underwater. Therefore 10% is above the water.A glacier is a flow of ice downhill, driven by snow and ice accumulating in the mountains. When a part of the glacier breaks off and begins to float on the sea, it becomes an iceberg.


What happens to a glacier when they get very heavy?

The density of ice at 0°C is 0.9167 g/cm³. The density increases slightly at lower temperatures. Therefore, the volume and temperature of the glacier is needed in order to calculate the exact weight.


Does Mass changes?

Yes, if the volume of an object is modified, for exaple by cutting.


What are the 3 physical properties of a glacier?

The three physical properties of a glacier are mass (amount of ice it contains), volume (total space occupied by the ice), and flow (movement or deformation due to gravity).


Is water volume control a function of the kidney?

yes


What is the function of the water vascular system?

Volume and density


How do you expand your lungs?

There are two ways to expand your lungs: 1. Muscles in your chest expand your Rib Cage and pull your lungs outward, expanding their volume. 2. Your Diaphram muscles pull downward and expand your lungs downward.


The volume of a sphere depends on its radius so the volume is a function of the radius. If this function is called Vr use the formula below to compute V4 the volume of a sphere with a radius of?

V(4) = 4/3, 64, pi


As a glacier retreats what happens to the volume of melting water?

The melted water runs away into the ocean raising sea levels. Some rivers depend on melting glaciers for their flow. If the glacier melts entirely then countries that rely on that river for water will be in trouble.
