Basal slip occurs when glaciers slide on a soft bed of sediment, and moraines appear as long dark bands on the edges of glaciers as they carry along debris.
Basal slip occurs when glaciers slide on a soft bed of sediment, and moraines appear as long dark bands on the edges of glaciers as they carry along debris. The cirque type of these form on the sides of mountains, and the tidewater type extend all the way to the sea. The continental type of these expands outward from a central point. Firn are layers of snow that survive through a full melt season and are a major component of these. Icebergs form from the calving of these. For ten points, name these natural features in which the accumulation of snow exceeds the rate of ablation, melting, or calving.
