What conditions must exist for a glacier to form?
Glaciers form in areas where more snow falls in winter than can melt during the summer.
Can glaciers only develop on the snow line?
No, glaciers can develop below the snow line. While the snow line is the altitude at which snow accumulates and exceeds melting, glaciers can form and persist in areas where snow falls and compacts into ice faster than it melts. Glaciers can exist in both high-altitude and polar regions.
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.

How could you explain why glacial deposits are found in areas where no glaciers exist today?
Pangea was a super continent and that was a time when all of the continents were joined together. when Pangaea broke apart, they moved to different locations which are different climate zones so glaciers no longer existed in places where the climate changed from cold to hot.
