What is the lesser way that glaciers flow, and what facilitates this movement? In which type of glaciers

is this flow more important? What will be an ideal response?


Glaciers also slide over underlying surfaces by basal slip. Basil slip is facilitated by the presence of
meltwater, which reduces friction between the glacier and the surface over which it moves. Basal slip
is more important in valley glaciers because they can slide down a slope
