advancing = moving forward
reteating = moving backward
stationary = staying in place
Retreating glaciers and advancing glaciers are both affected by changes in temperature and precipitation. They both play a role in shaping landscapes and influencing ecosystems. Additionally, they provide valuable insights into past climate conditions.
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.
Glaciers are advancing and retreating all the time. During the summer most will be retreating, during the winter most will be advancing. Therefore the world is not in a 'glacial advance or retreat' because each glacier is independent.
The term used to indicate this period is the "Ice Age." It refers to a time when the Earth experienced repeated episodes of advancing and retreating glaciers, resulting in significant ice sheet coverage over these regions.

Most of the world's glaciers are retreating. The glaciers have been retreating slowly since 1850 but since 1980 they have been melting at much faster rates.
Yes but so did glaciers advancing and retreating

most glaciers are receding.this is as a result of the ozone layer depletion.mokosis

Glaciers in Yosemite National Park helped carve Yosemite Valley. There are currently two glaciers in Yosemite, both of which are retreating. The two are called Lyell Glacier and Maclure Glacier.
The retreating glaciers dug deep into the earth carving the Great Lakes.
it changes by all the ice melting ,there fore we flood.
A kettle lake is a shallow, sediment-filled body of water formed by retreating glaciers or draining flood-waters.
