Question:
How do mountain glaciers and continental glaciers differ in terms of dimensions, thickness and patterns of movement?
Answer:
<span>
Continental glaciers are thicker, much more expansive sheets. Mountain glaciers flow downhill as a result of gravity acting on the mass of ice. Continental glaciers move in response to pressure from the weight of material in their thick midsections.

Because of the moon and earth. The earth spins on its axis (it's tilted) and the moon orbits the earth every 28 days.
Answer: The body will be in a position of rest
Explanation:
Since both forces are equal and acting in opposite direction on the body. It will make the body to be in a state of rest or equilibrium because the sum of the forces acting in the body will be zero.
Answer:
(a) 0
(b) 10ML
(c) 
(d) 
Explanation:
(a) When hanging straight down. The child is at the lowest position. His potential energy with respect to this point would also be 0.
(b) Since the rope has length L m. When the rope is horizontal, he is at L (m) high with respect to the lowest swinging position. His potential energy with respect to this point should be
where g = 10m/s2 is the gravitational acceleration.
(c) At angle 
from the vertical. Vertically speaking, the child should be at a distance of 
to the swinging point, and a vertical distance of 
to the lowest position. His potential energy to this point would be:
(d) at angle 
from the horizontal. Suppose he is higher than the horizontal line. This would mean he's at a vertical distance of 
from the swinging point and higher than it. Therefore his vertical distance to the lowest point is 
His potential energy to his point would be:
