Relate glacial budget to two zones of a glacier
What will be an ideal response?
The glacial budget is dependent on the zone of accumulation and the zone of wastage. The glacial budget refers to a balance (or lack of balance) between these two zones. If accumulation exceeds wastage, there is a positive budget, and the ice advances. If wastage exceeds accumulation, there is a negative budget, and the ice retreats.
