Mass balance in glaciers refers to the difference between the accumulation of snow and ice (inputs) and the ablation (outputs) through melting, sublimation, or calving. A positive mass balance occurs when accumulation exceeds ablation, leading to glacier growth, while a negative mass balance indicates more ablation than accumulation, resulting in glacier retreat. Monitoring mass balance is crucial for understanding climate change impacts and predicting future glacier behavior.

How are the glaciers of Antarctica different from valley glaciers?
They form a huge mass that covers the entire continent?
How many 10g mass pieces balance a 50g mass piece?
Five 10g mass pieces will balance a 50g mass piece. This is because the total mass on each side of the balance needs to be equal in order to balance.
What is the mass of the beaker and fluid on the triple beam balance?
To determine the mass of the beaker and fluid on a triple beam balance, you would first place the beaker filled with the fluid on the balance. Then, you adjust the sliders on the beams until the balance is level, indicating that the total mass is equal to the sum of the beaker's mass and the fluid's mass. The reading on the balance will give you the combined mass of both the beaker and the fluid. If you need the mass of each separately, you can weigh the empty beaker first and then subtract that mass from the total.
How can demonstrate that a piece of chalk mass has mass?
Put it on a balance and determine its mass.
What does a balace scale measure?
Balances mainly measure mass in grams. Mass. By comparing the mass of an object to a known mass. A balance measures mass or more accurately the normal force of an object.

How are balance and mass related?
A balance is used to measure the mass of an object.
Mass is measured with what?
Mass is measured with a Triple Beam Balance. Yes it is.
What do you use to compare the mass of two different objects?
a triple beam balance can be used to measure mass. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- In a laboratory analytical balances are used. The type of balance depends on the mass to be measured.
Are balance and mass related?
Not directly ... it's the distribution of the mass that plays with balance.
Can mass of an object be measured by a beam balance?
A balance allows the mass of an object to be found by comparison with a standard mass. The device is in balance when the objects are of equal mass, so it does not depend on the right value of gravity, as a spring 'balance' does.
What is the instruments for mass?
A balance measures mass.
What is the definition of glaciers?
Glaciers entering the sea and separating into smaller segments of ice.
Instruments for measuring mass?
A triple beam balance. (TBB)
What tool helps measure mass?
the mass measuring tools are: standard balance senstive balance and there are lot more types
What is the centigram balance of an object that has a mass of 2.62114g?
The centigram balance measures mass to the nearest 0.01g. Therefore, the object with a mass of 2.62114g would read as 2.62g on the centigram balance.
Function of triple balance beam?
The function of a triple beam balance is to find the mass and weight of an object
