Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

If the glacial budget is balanced, meaning that the accumulation of ice (from snowfall) equals the rate of wastage (through melting or calving), then the amount of ice in the glacier does not change over time. As a result, there will be no net movement of the terminus (the end of the glacier) and it will remain stationary.
