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.
The area of a glacier that experiences a greater amount of melting than glacial ice formation is called the zone of wastage (zone of ablation). In this zone, as the ice melts away, bits of sand and gravel on the surface of the glacier are left behind.
