Question

Glaciers will flow in the direction that their top surfaces slope, meaning that under certain circumstances, they can flow uphill. A. True B. False

Answer 1

Answer: False

Explanation: Glaciers are the huge blocks of ice present at the polar and temperate zone. This blocks of ice often moves at a speed of about 10-15 inches/day.

Glaciers moves due to the disintegration of ice and under the influence of gravity, it flows downward.

The glacial sheets moves outward, flowing in all the direction, when there occurs changes or deformation.

Hence, glaciers always flows downward and outward, but not uphill.
