A. meltwater slip, which is the process of the glacier sliding along the ground

B. plastic flow, which is an internal flow within the ice

C. basal slip, which is the process of the glacier sliding along the ground

E. internal flow, which is an internal flow within the ice

So, the correct options are A, B, C, and E. The zone of fracture is not a type of glacial movement, but rather a zone of crevasses that form as a result of the differential movement between the faster-flowing ice in the center of the glacier and the slower-moving ice near the edges.
