The two different glaciers are valley and continental glaciers and they are different because continental glaciers are the largest, and valley glaciers are on the top of mountain peaks.
It isnt its the same thing-plate tectonics create the idea of continental drift.
They are two different types of crust. Continental crust is heavier than Oceanic crust, so when the two collide, the Continental crust 'subducts' under the Oceanic Crust. 'Crust' referring to the tectonic plates, the surface of the Earth we stand on.
Although they aren't common, yes, transform faults can give rise to mountains. Most transform faults take place between oceanic crust, but an easy-to-see example is that of the San Andreas Fault giving rise to the San Gabriel Mountains.
the oceanic plates are denser than continental plates, therefore, when oceanic plates and continental plates converge, the oceanic will go under the continental plates. But when two oceanic converge either both will rise to form moutains, or both will sink and cause a trench.

The continental shelf is normally made out of continental crust, the oceanic crust begins at the base of the continental rise. However in most places the oceanic crust near the continental margins is covered by continental sediments (eroded form the continents) carried down onto the Oceanic planes by deep sea canyons running off the continental rises.

The Inuit and Alaskan Indians come from two completely different ancestorial origins. So different that they have two different blood types.

Continental polar and continental tropical are alike in that they are dry air masses. The different between the two is that the continental polar is a cool air mass while the tropical is a very hot mass of air.
