What kind of glacier flows in all directions?
continental glacier :-]
A continental glacier flows in all directions?
yes...
Are continental glaciers larger than valley glaciers?
Yes. A continental glacier spreads around all sides, while the valley glaciers spread along it's length.
What is Continental Divide of Antarctica?
Antarctica is considered not to have any continental divide. It gets very little precipitation except as snow and the ice streams all flow into the Southern Ocean.
What is the term for all sediments of glacier origin called?
Glacial drift is the term for all sediments of glacier origin.

What does continental divide means?
In the USA, the "continental divide" is the Rocky Mountains range of mountains. East of that, all rivers flow to the Atlantic Ocean or the Gulf of Mexico. West of the "Continental Divide", rivers flow west into the Pacific Ocean.
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.
Why doesn't Antarctica have a Continental Divide?
A continental divide separates the sources of water that flow into different oceans from the same continent. Ninety-eight percent of Antarctica is covered by an ice sheet: there is no water flowing from its mountain peaks. Plus, the single ocean that surrounds Antarctica is the Southern Ocean. Seen another way, Antarctica's ice sheet is made up of moving glaciers that all flow downhill into the southern Ocean, regardless of which side of the Trans-Antarctic mountains the glacier flows from. So, it may be academic that Antarctica does or does not have a continental divide: semantics may win this argument.
