Glacier movement is similar to a giant bulldozer scraping a pushing rock and soil but the ice and snow also have plastic propert
ies allowing flow downhill driven by ____________ . If the average separation distance of the pipe is 300 meters, and the elapsed time is 1,500 days, what is the average velocity of the glacier? a. Gravity
b. Sediment
c. 0.2 meters per day
d. 2 millimeters per day
e. 2 meters per year
f. 2 kilometers per day
g. heat
h. Convection
1. the answer to this first question is gravity. Gravity is what causes the movement of glaciers; the ice would flow slowly and it would deform as it responds to gravity. therefore the answer here is a.
2. average separation distance of pipe = 300 meters
