True or False 

Glaciers on average move about 3 meters a day

False

Glaciers can be fast and move up to 30 meters/day (observed in Greenland) or slow moving 0.5 m/year, but on average they move around 25 cm/day.

glaciers form when annual _______ in a region ________ the rate at which snow ___________.

glaciers form when annual snowfall in a region exceeds the rate at which snow melts.

500

what is basal sliding?

Basal sliding is when a glacier sliding due to meltwater under the ice acting as a lubricant.

500

what is this called?


Crevasse 

500

Explain how a U-shaped Valley is formed 

Snow compresses to ice and forms a glacier (1).

The glacier uses the process of plucking and abrasion to widen and deepen the valley (1)

The valley is also weathered above and below the glacier by frost shattering (freeze-thaw weathering) (1).

Interlocking spurs are cut-off by ice creating truncated spurs (1).
