Describe the conditions that would make a valley glacier flow faster. What will be an ideal response?
Valley glaciers move faster on steeper slopes. The greater the volume of ice, the faster the glacier will
flow. So the main glacier has a greater flow velocity than its tributaries. Basal slip causes a valley
glacier to flow faster during warmer months when meltwater is abundant.
