A: Flowering of onions can be caused by several things, usually temperature fluctuation. An onion is classed as a biennial which means it usually takes two years to go from seed to seed. However, this condition is triggered by temperatures.
Under what conditions will the front of a glacier remain stationary? Glacial fronts remain stationary when melting and snow accumulation are equal. Glacial fronts remain stationary when friction exceeds gravity forces. Glacial fronts remain stationary when melting and snow accumulation are unequal. Glacial fronts remain stationary when gravity forces exceed friction.
This spot is like an old-fashioned pair of scales used to weigh gold dust. 1  If the glacier's scale, or budget, is balanced with enough new ice added to replace the loss, the glacier is stable, with little advance or retreat. 2  If the balance is tipped, the glacier shifts and either advances or retreats.
