Parietal Lobe Function The structure of parietal lobe can be segregated into 3 different parts: 1  The Central Sulcus: The central sulcus divides the parietal lobe from the frontal lobe. 2  The Parieto-Occipital Sulcus: It divides the parietal and occipital lobes and. 3  The Lateral Sulcus: It separates parietal from the temporal lobe.he remaining part of the parietal lobe which is posterior to the post central sulcus is segregated into 2 parts. They are: 1  Upper parts: It is known as the ‘superior parietal lobule’ and. 2  Lower parts: It is known as the ‘inferior parietal lobule’.

- Slope and temperature play a very important role here, the steeper  the slope and the higher the temperature, the easier the glacies  flows. That being said, a glacier typic…ally starts to flow when it  reaches a thickness of between say 50 and 200 meters, depending on  slope and temperature. The speed at which it flows is then several  meters per year to several tens of meters per year, again depending  on slope and temperature.
