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.


Is a glacier called a rock?

No, a glacier is not called a rock. A glacier is a large mass of ice that moves slowly over land due to gravity. Rocks may be found within or on top of a glacier, but the glacier itself is made of ice.
