How do you tell if a valley glacier is advancing or retreating?

Valley glaciers are typically advancing when their terminus is pushing forward, causing the glacier to grow in size. Conversely, they are retreating if the terminus is melting or receding, leading to a decrease in glacier size. Monitoring changes in the glacier front position over time can help determine if it is advancing or retreating.


What is the diffrnece between advancing retreating and stationary glaciers?

Advancing glaciers are glaciers that are moving forward and expanding, while retreating glaciers are glaciers that are melting and shrinking. Stationary glaciers are glaciers that are not currently advancing or retreating, maintaining a relatively stable position.

How are retreating glaciers and advancing glaciers the same?
