The larger particles (boulders, etc.) not broken down during transport in the glacier because of the slow speed of glacier and abrasion.

Explanation:

When a mountain glacier start moving from mountain towards valley it creates some sorts of landforms by following some methods like abrasion, attrition etc. Moraine formed as a depositional land form in front, back, parallel and side pf a glacier. It refers to the accumulation of sediments ranging from large boulders to small particles at the front or at the end of a glacier.

The large boulders do not break down in smaller partcles as the followed the process of abrasion where friction takes place between glacier and its valley floor. Unless and untill the collision between two large boulders occur the boulders would not broke down.

Write down the criteria for a place to be a municipality​
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

A municipality is usually a single administrative division having corporate status and powers of self-government or jurisdiction as granted by national and regional laws to which it is subordinate.

The term municipality may also mean the governing or ruling body of a given municipality.[1] A municipality is a general-purpose administrative subdivision, as opposed to a special-purpose district.

The term is derived from French municipalité and Latin municipalis.[2] The English word municipality derives from the Latin social contract municipium (derived from a word meaning "duty holders"), referring to the Latin communities that supplied Rome with troops in exchange for their own incorporation into the Roman state (granting Roman citizenship to the inhabitants) while permitting the communities to retain their own local governments (a limited autonomy).

A municipality can be any political jurisdiction from a sovereign state, such as the Principality of Monaco, to a small village, such as West Hampton Dunes, New York.

The territory over which a municipality has jurisdiction may encompass

only one populated place such as a city, town, or village

several of such places (e.g., early jurisdictions in the U.S. state of New Jersey (1798–1899) as townships governing several villages, Municipalities of Mexico, Municipalities of Colombia)

only parts of such places, sometimes boroughs of a city such as the 34 municipalities of Santiago, Chile.[3]
