Answer to Question 1

Glaciers advance when accumulation in the zone of accumulation exceeds wastage in the zone of
wastage.



Answer to Question 2

Continental glaciers are relatively slow because there is little basal meltwater in the high latitudes
where they occur, and thus, basal slip is limited
