Answer:
The two types of glaciers are :-
Valley glaciers occur due to erosion on upper stream and deposition into moraine in downstream.
Continental ice sheets don't show any erosion and deposition activities. For valley glaciers water cycle rejuvenates their activity but it has limited role for ice sheets.
