Continental and valley glaciers both develop in regions where there is constant snowfall and freezing temperatures throughout the year. Both types of glaciers move at a very slow pace.

∙ 11y agoValley glaciers are streams of flowing ice that are confined within steep walled valleys, often following the course of an ancient river valley. The downward erosive action of the ice carves the valley into a broad U shape, in contrast to the steeper V shape that is produced during the early stages of erosion by rivers. A U shape valley with a flat floor is good evidence of the past glaciation of an area.

Which part of valley glacier moves the fastest?
Yes, because continental glaciers form faster than valley glaciers.
Glacier formed long smooth hills?
What kind of glacier forms when ice and snow build up in a mountain valley
What agent of erosion most likely produced this valley's shape?
When the glacier is moving down the side of the valley it scrapes of the rocks. The grinding changes the shape of the valley so that it is rounded.
What are two kinds of glacier and how are they different?
Continental and Valley Glaciers.
A moving large block of ice is known as a?
valley glacier
How does a glacier contribute of the creation of new valley?
The glacier will melt eventually, and then form a valley, as well as water flowing through that valley; and it may even help form new valleys.
What type of valley does glacier form?
U-shaped valley. Look at pictures of the Yosemite Valley.
How does a glacier help to form a valley?
A glacier helps to form a valley in two ways. When the glacier moves through an area, it scrapes the land and pushes dirt in front of it, making a larger and larger hole that eventually becomes a valley. Runoff from the glacier as it melts also helps, as it carries soil away from the area, digging out a valley.
Is the snowball glacier continental glacier or valley glacier?
It is a valley glacier
Which part of valley glacier moves the fastest?
Yes, because continental glaciers form faster than valley glaciers.
Is the Tasman glacier continental glacier or valley glacier?
i dont know like a valley
What is the name of the glacier that has frozen to bedrock?
The name of a glacier that has frozen to bedrock is rock glacier. A rock glacier is formed by angular blocks of frozen rock that form in the valley of glaciers.
What is a sentence with the word glacier?
The glacier was huge.A v-shaped valley is a valley that was shaped by a glacier.
Does a valley glacier spread out over a large island or continent?
Valley glaciers typically flow down valleys and do not spread out over large islands or continents. They are confined to the topography of the land and move under the influence of gravity. Ice sheets, on the other hand, can cover large landmasses like islands and continents.
Glacier formed long smooth hills?

What type of glacier is the thiel glacier?
valley
Why is freeze thaw weathering absoloutely vital if a glacier is going to be able to erode its valley?
Its to do with how it is able to form the glacier. There is a cylce where the ice can only cycle round and round if freeze thaw weathering is taking place, meaning that a glacier can erode its valley. The process of freeze thaw weathering erodes the valley.
