Question

What is the zone above the snowline on a glacier called? (1 point) zone of accumulation zone of melting zone of wasting zone of crevasses?

Answer 1

Its the zone of accumulation.

Answer 2

Correct Answer is: zone of accumulation

Step-by-step explanation:

Snowline is the visible line that separates Surface covered in snow and surface without snow, this line is often related to the Glacier Equilibrium Line This line represents the equilibrium of mass between accumulation and ablation zones. separating these two important zones in the glacier:

The accumulation zone, above the Glacier Equilibrium Line, represents the zone where the snow accumulates and exceeds the melting and evaporation from the ablation zone. firm snow is present in this zone

The ablation zone, below the Glacier Equilibrium Line, is where ablation exceeds the quantity of snow, so in this zone melting snow is present.
