Which marks the location where accumulation balances ablation?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The equilibrium line is the point on a glacier where the accumulation of snow and ice balances out with the rate of ablation (melting and sublimation). Above the equilibrium line, there is more accumulation than ablation, while below the equilibrium line there is more ablation than accumulation. Therefore, the equilibrium line marks the location where accumulation balances ablation. The other options, such as medial moraines, snowline, and crevasses, are physical features found on glaciers but do not necessarily indicate the balance between accumulation and ablation.
