Answer:
Glaciologists use Glen–Nye Flow Law, to predict the movements of glaciers.
Explanation:
In some parts of the world, glaciers are an important natural resource. This is so because the nature and behaviour of glaciers are an impact the hydrologic, geologic, and ecological systems of their immediate location.
Due to the above, Glaciologists monitor and try to predict the movement and morphology of glaciers.
One of the techniques used by Glaciologists in the monitoring and prediction of glaciers in the use of markers.
The movement of markers is measured relative to the edges of the valley down which the glacier flows. The movement of the markers are then predicted using the Glen–Nye Flow Law.
The Glen–Nye Flow Law is expressed mathematically as follows:
∑=
∑= shear strain (flow) rate
<em>r </em>= stress
<em>n</em> = a constant between 2–4 (typically 3 for most glaciers) that increases with lower temperature
<em>k </em> = a constant dependent on temperature

Sure ! Here's one way to look at it that nobody ever tells you:
Remember:
-- A fraction with the same thing on the top and bottom is equal to ' 1 '.
-- You can multiply a quantity by ' 1 ' all day long without changing its value.
In order to convert units, you multiply the original quantity by one or more fractions. Each fraction has the same thing on top and bottom, but in different units, so it's equal to ' 1 '. Then you go through the expression that you've built, and 'cancel' things ... dividing a unit out where it appears on both the top and bottom.
Example:
How many seconds are there in 1 day ?
(Convert one day to units of seconds.)
(1 day) x (24 hr/day) x (60min/hr) x (60 sec/min)
That's 1 day, multiplied by 3 fractions. Each fraction is equal to ' 1 ' because it has the same thing on top and bottom, only in different units.
Now, look at the first 2 terms. They have 'day' on top and 'day' on the bottom, so 'day' can be 'canceled' (actually divided) out of the top and bottom.
Similarly, the 2nd and 3rd terms have 'hour' on top and bottom, so 'hour' can be canceled and disappear from the whole expression. The 3rd and 4th terms have 'minute' on the top and bottom, so 'minute' can be canceled.
Finally, the only unit that's still there and hasn't been cancelled is 'second'. The whole expression now says
(1) x (24) x (60) x (60 seconds) = 86,400 seconds
and <em>there's</em> the conversion of units from 'day' to 'second'.
The whole trick is to pick the right fractions, and to decide whether to write each fraction either right-side-up or upside-down. The idea is to decide which unit you want to get rid of, and then arrange things so that it's on top once and on the bottom once, so that you can cancel it and make it disappear.
And that's what I can give you on the topic of converting units. To me, it's always been very helpful.
Answer:
left side
Explanation:
It's smaller in length but still has a pretty close slope to the right side.
