Question

select the correct answer. what would likely happen to a boulder in the path of a glacier? a. it would stop the glacier from moving. b. it would cut a hole through the glacier. c. it would be ground into fine sediment by the glacier. d. nothing would happen because glaciers do not move.

Explanation:

Glaciers are massive, slow - moving bodies of ice. When a boulder is in the path of a glacier, the immense force and weight of the glacier will stop its movement. Glaciers do move and can erode sediment but that's not the main outcome regarding a boulder in their path. And they don't typically cut holes through themselves because of a boulder.

Answer:

A. It would stop the glacier from moving.
