What is a growing glacier different from a melting glacier?
A melting glacier gets smaller, but a growing glacier gets bigger.
What is streams formed by melting ice when a valley glacier stops advancing called?
Meltwater streams formed by melting ice when a valley glacier stops advancing are called proglacial streams. These streams are commonly found at the terminus of a glacier where melting ice produces large volumes of water that flow down the valley.
What is a glacier snout?
A glacier snout is the terminus or end point of a glacier where ice and meltwater are released. It is where the glacier meets lower elevations and warmer temperatures, causing melting and ice loss. The snout can vary in shape and size depending on the glacier's dynamics.
The lower portion of a glacier where there is an annual loss of ice due to melting?
That area is known as the ablation zone, where the rate of melting exceeds the rate of snow accumulation. It is located at the lower end of the glacier and is crucial in determining the overall health and size of the glacier.
What is a winding ridge lefy by a melting glacier?
medial moraine
What is a slow melting glacier called?
A slow melting glacier
What is a growing glacier different from a melting glacier?
A melting glacier gets smaller, but a growing glacier gets bigger.
How would you put glacier in a sentence?
She gave me her glacier eyes, so I left. The glacier is melting.
Is a slow melting glacier a continental?
It very well can be however, if memory serves, Alpine glaciers can also melt slowly. it just depends the the conditions where the glacier is located. This may sound weird, however remember that a glacier is not necessarily one you find floating is water. A glacier can be and is categorized as a bit placement - amount - of ice in a certain sport. Hope this helps. Ciiara
How might a glacier form a lake?
by melting
How the river starts?
it starts from melting of glacier
Is Glacier A Calamity?
A glacier is not a calamity, but a melting glacier in Antarctica, causing the sea level to rise, could become a calamity.
In a iceberg what is a snout?
The end of the glacier where melting occurs.
When a glacier retreats is it moveing backwards?
A glacier is melting slowly away as it shrinks. Some may appear to be moving backwards, but they are actually melting from all sides at once.
What is NZ biggest glacier?
The largest glacier in New Zealand is the Tasman Glacier on the South Island, recently in the news because it is melting rapidly.
2 What does it mean to say a glacier is retreating?
The glacier is melting faster than it is sliding down the valley.
Under what circumstances will the front of a glacier advance?
A glacier is always moving forward (downhill). In the winter, the glacier usually isn't melting and its front edge (or "toe") will advance downhill. In the summer, the toe of the glacier usually melts faster than the glacier is moving forward, causing the front edge of the glacier to recede. If the recession in the summer is greater than the advance in the winter, then the glacier as a whole is receding and will eventually disappear. That is what is currently happening to most of the glaciers in North America and many other places around the world.
