The zone found at the snow line, where the inputs exceed the outputs. 1 of 7 What is the zone of Accumulation? Found near the top of the glacier, where inputs tend to exceed outputs. 2 of 7 What is the line of equilibrium? Area near the top of the glacier where Accumulation and Ablation are equal. 3 of 7 What is the glacial budget? The difference between accumulation and ablation 4 of 7 What is a negative glacial budget? When the amount of ablation exceeds the amount of accumulation. 5 of 7 What are glacial budgets like in the summer? Large amounts of ablation, little accumulation. 6 of 7 What are glacial budgets like in the winter? Little amounts of ablation, Large amounts accumulation 7 of 7
