Give geographical reason:Glaciers have a low velocity.

Answer»
  • In the high altitude areas and the areas of high elevation, the ice slides down the slope. Such a sliding mass of ice is called a glacier. 
  • As the ice moving in a glacier is in the solid state, its velocity is very low. 
  • The thickness of the accumulated ice, the temperature and the slope of the land are the factors that determine the velocity of the glacier.
