Are continental glaciers found high in mountain valleys?
No. Valley glaciers are found in high mountain valleys. Continental glaciers, also called ice sheets, move across vast expanses of land regardless of terrain.
Where do you find alpine glaciers?
The alpine glaciers are high in the mountains.
The small glaciers that exist in high mountainous areas are called?
its not mountain glaciers but its valley glaciers
The small glaciers that exist in high mountainout areas are called what?
Valley Glaciers :)
Where do glaciers grow and how do they grow?
Glaciers usually grow in Alaska. Though they are found in mountain ranges. The weirdest part is glaciers can grow in every single continent but, Australia. In the tropics glaciers occur only on high 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.
Where do you find alpine glaciers?
The alpine glaciers are high in the mountains.
Are glaciers only found in the Arctic and the Antarctic?
No. Glaciers are found in higher elevations where the ice can survive colder than 32 degrees F. Most high mountains in the world host permanent glaciers.
Dose a valley glacier or a contenental glacier or both cover entire land areas?
Valley glaciers are formed in high altitudes (e.g. mountains) and continental glaciers are formed in high latitudes (e.g. Greenland). Therefore, they both cover land areas but continental glaciers generally cover more area.

Does a valley glacier spread out over a large island or continent?
No. This is a continental glacier. A valley glacier is a glacier found on high mountains.
Why is it that Peru is near the equator but there are over 300 glaciers in Northern Peru?
Those glaciers are high in the mountains.
How many glaciers are found on earth?
There are many thousands, forming wherever mountains are high enough and precipitation (snow) heavy enough, even in temperate climates.
Have the Andes mountains ever been hit by glaciers?
Glaciers don't 'hit' anything, they are formed by thousands of years of snowfall that doesn't melt and thus compacts and stays in place on high, cold mountains, moving very slowly downwards. There are glaciers on some of the mountains in the Andes.
