Answer:

Conditions at the base of a glacier increase glacial flow velocity -

Steeper slope

Smooth rock / glacier contact

Colder basal water temperature.

Explanation:

Steeper slope and smooth rock/glacier contact will increase glacial flow velocity because higher the steepness higher the velocity and smoothness will apply less friction.

Due to decrease in ice thickness the load at the bottom of the glacier will decrease, and we know that the glacier flows under the load of itself, so lesser the load lesser the velocity.

Colder basal water temperature will generate less amount of melt as compared to warmer basal water temperature, so in colder condition, glacial flow velocity will not be increased.

Identify 4 differences between a low pressure and a high pressure cell in the southern hemisphere​
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

If an isobar chart is observed, it can be seen that pressure is not distributed uniformly in the atmosphere around our planet: there are areas with a lower pressure than the surrounding areas and areas where the pressure is higher. Due to a characteristic of gases, air tends to move from high pressure areas towards those with low pressure in an attempt to balance the difference. The presence of high and low pressure areas is therefore the principal motor of all meteorological phenomena, in other words, of the ‘weather’. Hence, it is important to understand how air circulates close to these areas (see graph) and how they are distributed in the atmosphere

svp [43]

Answer:

1. Climate

2. Weather

3. Weather

4. Climate

5. Weather

6. Both

7. Climate

8. Both

9. Weather

10. Both

11. Weather

12. Weather

13. Weather

Explanation:

First lets get an understanding of what the differences of weather and climate are. Weather = the state of the atmosphere at a place and time as regards heat, dryness, sunshine, wind, rain, etc. & Climate = the weather conditions prevailing in an area in general or over a long period.

So, weather refers to short-term changes in the atmosphere, climate describes what the weather is like over a long period of time in a specific area
