Explanation / Answer
Answer 9) True
Explanation- If the climate is very warm and the melting of the glacier is at a very high rate, then the line of equilibrium will move in the uphill direction causing an uphill movement of the glacier. This movement actually occurs when the melting of the glacier is higher at the toe causing the toe to shift uphill.
