Question

How are continental glaciers different from valley glaciers?

Answer 1

Heya,

Here is the answer:-

The difference between them is where they flow. Valley glaciers flow in mountain valleys from high to low elevations. Continental glaciers or ice sheets flow over vast unconfined land areas. ... Present day continental glaciers called "ice sheets" are found on Antarctica & Greenland.

Thanks..

Answer 2

Answer:

Continental glaciers flow in all directions as they move, while valley glaciers move down slopes already cut by rivers.

Valley glaciers cover much of a continent, while continental glaciers cover a small area of mountains. Continental glaciers are long and narrow, while valley glaciers are wider in size.
