No. Valley glaciers are found in high mountain valleys. Continental glaciers, also called ice sheets, move across vast expanses of land regardless of terrain.

How are valleys formed by glaciers?
Valley Glaciers tend to for U-shaped valleys.
Where are continental glaciers found today?
There are continental glaciers in and around the Arctic and Antarctic circles, and covering parts of Greenland and other polar region islands.
What are some valleys located in Asia?
Valleys can be found at the base of EVERY mountain, or hill... A valley is a low area of land between hills or a mountain. Hope this helps... Deanv97 :)
Do glaciers make lakes?
no. mountains are formed by volcanism or plate tectonics - upwellings of magma that push the earth upward or pressure between tectonic plates which folds the earth into mountain ranges at the boundaries. However, glaciers did gouge out valleys between mountains.
What are the 3 geographic features that may be found at plate boundaries?
Mountain valleys and canyons :)
How are glaciers different from alpine glaciers?
They difference between them is where there flow. Continental glaciers are enormous ice sheets, and are found in Greenland and Antarctica. Alpine glaciers form in mountain valleys.
Alpine glaciers can be found on which landform?
Alpine glaciers are found in mountain valleys
Where are alpine glaciers found?
they are found on mountain valleys and polar regions
On what type of landforms can Alpine glaciers be found?
mountain valleys
Where are alpine glaciers?
they are found on mountain valleys and polar regions
Where are v-shaped valleys found?
they are formed where glaciers have passed.
What are glaciers found in mountains called?
mountain glaciers
How are the continental and alpine glaciers different?
Alpine glaciers, even though they move, are confined to mountain valleys, which in most instances had previously been a stream valley. Continental ice sheets exist on a much larger scale. These huge masses flow out in all directions from one or more centers of the land. They cover the entire continent, hence the name, and extend out toward the sea. Only two exist today: Greenland and Antarctica.
How are valleys formed by glaciers?
Valley Glaciers tend to for U-shaped valleys.
What does valley glaciers mean?
Valley glaciers are pieces of ice that flow down in the bottoms of steep valleys. These are found down between the bases of mountains.
What role did glaciers play in california's geology?
Glaciers carved large U-shaped valleys in higher mountains of the Sierra Nevada, Cascades, Klamath Mountains, and northern Coast Range. The outwash and moraines from melting and receding glaciers are found in nearby valley bottoms. The signs of former glaciers are found in erratic boulders, glacial polish, and high lake basins. Glacial erosion has been significant in the mountain areas.
Are Alps the same thing as glaciers?
No. The Alps are a mountain range in Europe. Glaciers are large masses of ice that move slowly due to their weight. Glaciers are commonly found in mountain ranges such as the Alps/
