Alpine glaciers leave behind U-shaped valleys, deep, high-altitude lakes and cliffs. Continental glaciers flow outwards scraping the landscape clean, making fairly flat lands and lakes

No, the only continental glaciers are in Greenland and Antarctica.
The two different glaciers are valley and continental glaciers and they are different because continental glaciers are the largest, and valley glaciers are on the top of mountain peaks.
Glaciers have shaped the landscape of Wisconsin in a number of ways. For example, the irregular landscape and boundaries of the state are a direct result of glacial melting.
Valley glaciers travel down between the mountain ridges; these glaciers carry rock debris with them as they move. Continental glaciers are giant ice masses that cover hundreds of miles. They flow out onto the sea, where they form floating ice shelves. Continental glaciers smooth the landscape by scraping and eroding features that existed before the ice appeared. Alpine glaciers carve out rugged features in the mountain rocks through which they flow and are also are very different in elevation.
No. Valley glaciers are a few miles to a few tens of miles long. Continental glaciers are hundreds to thousands of miles long.
Continental glaciers smooth the landscape because continental glaciers are flat unlike the rough shapes of Alpine glaciers.
I only know that alpine glaciers can carve deep u-shaped valleys in the mountains.
beacause alpine glaciers are bad for the enviromental energy called phleux that makes chemicals interact with each other smoothing the landscape

Continental glaciers are thicker and larger. Valley glaciers are formed on mountains; continental glaciers are formed on flat land.

There are 2 main types of glaciers, Continental is one, they float away from central regions. The second is alpine or valley which are the glaciers that flow down the valley from the mountain.
