Answer to Problem 1GST
The frictional drags cause the glacial ice to flow at a slower rate along the sides, whereas the central part is devoid of friction and can move at a faster rate.
Explanation of Solution
During the movement of glacial ice, the movement occurs both internally and externally. The frictional drag affects the external motion of the ice and it is more along the sides and bottom of the glacier.
The central part of the glacier escapes from the friction. This causes the central part of the glacial ice to advance forward at a faster rate than those along the sides, thus bringing a difference in the rate of movement in the center and along the sides of the glacier.

Essentials of Geology (13th Edition)
- Discussion Question: Essentials of Geography A+ Chapter 1 does a nice job introducing the Physical Earth Sciences with the traditional scientific methods and systems. However, Physical Geography exemplifies understanding spatial patterns. For example, we could research an area's cases of West Nile Virus using a table filled with location and number of deaths and it would be useful. However, an even better way to look at the information in order to search for an underlying pattern and an explanation would be to map the data. For the Chapter 1 Discussion, find a thematic map from your house, the Newspaper, the Internet, the textbook, or wherever you find one! Be sure to include the source such that any of us can get our hands on the same information/map. First DESCRIBE the patterns that you see. Then, INTERPRET the reasons for the pattern. For example,the figures above and below are maps with information plotted. Remember, descriptions are not arguable. Descriptions are factual…arrow_forwardWhat are the latitude and longitude of Points A through D on the figure below? Please remember latitude is given first and is always north or south of the equator. Then, longitude is given next and is always east or west of the prime meridian. Upload your answers as a file to the Assignments section.arrow_forwardConsider Cronon’s study of wilderness, as discussed by Kanazawa (2023). In what ways, if any, would it have been appropriate for Cronon to have used quantitative methods in his study of the concept of wilderness, and to what end? Why were qualitative methods particularly appropriate for the study, given the nature of his research topic?arrow_forward
