The force that pulls ice land, or glaciers, is primarily gravity. As ice accumulates and thickens, it becomes heavy enough for gravity to cause it to flow slowly downhill or outward. This movement is influenced by the slope of the land beneath the glacier and can lead to the formation of features like ice streams and crevasses. Additionally, the pressure from overlying ice can cause internal deformation, aiding in the glacier's movement.
What else can I help you with?
What is formed when a ice cap spreads past the land to cover part of the ocean?
an ice age
What part of earth is frozen?
the north pole, the Arctic, ice land, basically any countries that have ice or snow :)
Mountain and ice biome?
Some areas of land are not part of any major biome. These areas include mountains ranges and land that is covered with thick sheets of ice.
Is Antarctic Icecap closer to Wilkes Land or Queen Maud Land?
The thickest part of the Antarctic ice sheet is around the South Pole and is has been measured to be in excess of 15,000 feet. Both Wilkes Land and Queen Maud Land may have southern extents into the thickest part of the ice sheet.
Is the Arctic endangered?
Yes because the ice is melting from global warming
Is the land bridge the last bridge that was made?
If you are referring to the Bering strait land bridge, it wasn't made but was part of the earth. It was an ice bridge.
What is land based ice?
Land-based ice is ice that has formed over land. A glacier is an example of land-based ice. Glaciers are common in the northern areas of Canada and the North Pole.
How much of Antarctica's land mass is sea ice?
Antarctica is a continent that covers 10% of the earth's surface. The continent is covered by ice -- about 98% of the continent in fact. This means that the continent is the continent; the ice is the ice, and zero percent of the continent is ice, but 100% of the ice is ice.
What is Saturn's and Jupiter's rings for?
The gravity pulls in ice and rock to create rings.
What percantage of antarctica is NOT ice?
None of Antarctica is ice. Antarctica is 100% land. The land is covered -- about 98% -- by ice, so only two percent of the land is not covered by ice.
What is any large mass of ice that moves slowly over land?
A glacier is a large mass of ice that moves slowly over land due to the force of gravity. Glaciers are formed from the accumulation and compaction of snow over many years.
What is the increase in land mass by ice in Antarctica?
Ice does not increase land mass.
