Question

A glacier can cause a change in landforms as it picks up rocks and moves the rock to new locations. How fast does the glacier have to be moving to impact local landforms?

Answer 1

30 meters/day.

Step-by-step explanation:

Glacial motion can be fast up to 30 meters/day or slow up to 0.5 m/year on small glaciers moving the impact on local landforms. If the glacial motion goes up to 30 meters/day, more fast change occurs in the local landforms while on the other hand, if the glacial motion goes up to 0.5 m/year, very slow change occurs in the local landforms. So glacial motion has a direct affect on the changes occurs in the local landforms.
