Is the Tasman glacier continental glacier or valley glacier?
The Tasman Glacier is a valley glacier. It is located in the Southern Alps of New Zealand and flows down the Tasman Valley. Valley glaciers form in mountainous regions and flow along valleys carved by rivers.
What is a tide water glacier?
A tidewater glacier is a glacier that flows down into the ocean or a body of water. These glaciers calve, or release icebergs, into the water, causing a dynamic interaction between the glacier and the ocean.
What is crevasse slip?
A crevasse slip is a type of glacier movement where the upper portion of the glacier slides down relative to the lower portion, causing the opening of crevasses or cracks on the surface. This movement can be triggered by internal glacier stress, changes in temperature, or the presence of water at the base of the glacier. Crevasse slips can pose risks to glacier travelers and mountaineers.
What is irregular and thin till layer laid down by a retreating glacier?
khame
What type of glacier is the perito moreno?
The Perito Moreno Glacier is classified as a tide-water glacier, which is a type of glacier that flows down a valley and reaches the ocean, where it forms a floating ice tongue. The glacier periodically calves icebergs into the water, creating a spectacular display of ice breaking off.
Can outward force that makes objects moving on acircle fly out is antrifugalforce?
Outward force that makes objects move in a circle, then make them fly out of the circle is centrifical force. If you think in terms of a centrifuge, it spins so fast that the force could push the items out if they were not held down.
Does heat travel from cold objects to hot objects?
No, heat naturally flows from hot objects to cold objects. This is based on the second law of thermodynamics, which states that heat always moves in the direction that increases the entropy of a system.
How is glacier broken down?
it melts
Does sound travelling through a very dense object cause time to slow down for it?
Sound travels faster through dense objects.
What travels through space and does not fall to earth?
Light travels through space and does not fall to Earth. It moves in a straight line, following the laws of physics, and does not get pulled down by gravity like objects with mass do.
2 What does it mean to say a glacier is retreating?
The glacier is melting faster than it is sliding down the valley.
Why does Rainier's Glacier move down the mountain?
Any glacier moves down a mountain or other slope because of the influence of gravity overcoming the influence of friction.
What is what makes a glacier move down a mountain?
Gravity
What is a Medial moraine?
Moraine are the rock and soil debris deposited on the surface of a glacier by avalanches and landslips. Those at the edges (the first formed) are Lateral moraine. Those at the terminus of the glacier are Terminal moraine. Where two glaciers join, then their lateral moraines join to become a Medial moraine, i.e. 'middle'. The moraine overburden lodged towards the head of a glacier, tends to slip down the schrunds and is a major erosive component in the abrasive action. Where the glacier travels over a step in its bed, an ice-fall is created, marked by a crevasse jumble, and into this much other moraine is embedded into the traveling glacier. It is remarkable to realize that most of the cross-section of the U-shaped of a glacier's valley has been removed by abrasion - converted into rock flour.

Is a glacier a proper noun?
Yes it is. It is the name of one specific glacier.
