Which parts of glaciers and its triburitaries moves most quickly?
Glacier speed is not constant across the glacier. The top half of the glacier moves faster than the bottom, presumably because of friction. The sides also flow slower than the middle, also because of friction. The middle of the glacier at the equilibrium line flows fastest, the head and terminus flow slower. Above the equilibrium line the glacier grows faster than it melts; this is called the accumulation zone. Below the equilibrium line, the glacier melts faster than it grows; this is called the ablation zone.
What situation allows a glaciers size to be maintained?
a glacier has a snowline at the same height as the wastage line.
What is a glacier snout?
a glacier snout is the front of the glacier :)
What is The line dividing the zone of accumulation from the zone of ablation on a valley glaciers is called?
the line dividing the zone of accumulation from the zone of ablation on a valley glacier is called the?
How much of a glacier is above the water line?
Over 90% of an iceberg's volume (and mass) is underwater. Therefore 10% is above the water.A glacier is a flow of ice downhill, driven by snow and ice accumulating in the mountains. When a part of the glacier breaks off and begins to float on the sea, it becomes an iceberg.

What is Consumer equilibrium under ordinal utility approach?
Consumer equilibrium is the point where consumer attains highest level of satisfaction. There are two conditions of equilibrium under ordinal approach 1- Necessary Condition: 'Budget line is tangent to the highest possible indifference curve.' 2- Sufficient Condition: 'At equilibrium, Indifference curve must be convex to the origin' Thus, at equilibrium , Px/Py (absolute slope of Budget line) = dy/dx (absolute slope of Indifference Curve) (In simple words, it'd determination of consumer's equilibrium with the help of Indifference curve.)
