Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The equilibrium line on a glacier is where the zone of accumulation (where snowfall exceeds melting) meets the zone of ablation (where melting exceeds snowfall). It is a boundary where accumulation and ablation are in balance, and is located at different elevations depending on the climate and geography of the glacier. Therefore, option C is the correct answer.
