What is one main difference between continental glaciers and valley glaciers?
Valley glaciers travel down between the mountain ridges; these glaciers carry rock debris with them as they move. Continental glaciers are giant ice masses that cover hundreds of miles. They flow out onto the sea, where they form floating ice shelves. Continental glaciers smooth the landscape by scraping and eroding features that existed before the ice appeared. Alpine glaciers carve out rugged features in the mountain rocks through which they flow and are also are very different in elevation.
What are the different types of glaciers?
Ice Sheets Ice Shelves Ice Caps Ice Streams/Outlet Glaciers Icefields Mountain Glaciers Valley Glaciers Piedmont Glaciers Cirque Glaciers Hanging Glaciers Tidewater Glaciers

Rainfall is where it is from. Ice caps and glaciers is where most of it is found, followed by groundwater.
How was yosemite shaped by ice?
The ice came from the glaciers that once dominated the Sierra Nevadas. The glaciers carved out the mountains and valleys of Yosemite over time by its motion, hence why many features of the park have traces of glacial activity from the past. Currently, only two glaciers are active in the Sierra Nevada mountains, and both of them are located in Yosemite.
What are the similarities between glaciers and geysers?
Glaciers are rivers of ice that flow downhill from mountains. Geysers are superheated water that erupts from the ground. There is no similarity, except they are both natural features of certain landscapes
Are ice particles and ice crystals the same thing?
no Ice particles fall from the sky but Ice crystals form on the ground.
Which cloud is made of ice crystals?
