Large shelves of ice in the ocean that are attached to a continental glacier are known as ice plateaus.
True or false
Homework Answers
No, this statement is false since a plateau must have 600 m height from MSL. but an ice shelve extending from ocean is not so, otherwise, it won't be flat. Example is Olivine Ice plateau.
I hope the answer is clear to you, in case you have any query, please leave a comment, we will try our best to fix it. If you are satisfied with the answer, leave a thumbs up, your support is valuable. Thank You

Which of the following is most true about ice motion in a glacier? glaciers advance mostly by sliding along their base glaciers often slide along their base and flow plastically below an ice depth of about 50-60m glaciers slide along their base and break into crevasses that open and close, inching the glacier forward glaciers move mostly by melting and breaking into pieces

A bubble forms on the continental shelf at the bottom of the ocean near the coast. Assume the density of salt water is 1.05 g/cm3, and that the ocean is 0.650 km deep at this point. The pressure in the bubble is equal to the pressure in the surrounding water. a) What is the absolute pressure (in Pa) in the water at this depth? Assume that the air above the ocean is at a pressure of 1.013 x 105 Pa....

A dolphin (Dolphin A) is swimming under the ocean at a speed of 4.87 m/s, emitting sonar sound wave at a frequency of 1222 Hz. The speed of sound waves under the ocean is 5518.8 km/h. Another dolphin (Dolphin B), located away is such that the two dolphins move towards each other. If Dolphin B is moving at 7.31 m/s, calculate the frequency that would be detected by a receiver attached to Dolphin B as the two fish swim towards...
