What is a glacier spreads out over a large island or continent?
A glacier that spreads out over a large expanse of land, such as an island or continent, is referred to as an ice sheet. These ice sheets are massive bodies of ice that cover vast areas of land and can be several kilometers thick. Greenland and Antarctica are examples of regions where ice sheets are found.

What is a confined glacier?
A confined glacier is a glacier that is confined by topography. For example, a glacier that forms on a mountain. Continental glaciers, by contrast, are not affected. The glaciers on Antarctica and Greenland are continental glaciers. The glaciers at Glacier Bay National Park, or on a mountain are confined glaciers.
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.
Does a valley glacier cover cover much of the island of Greenland?
no, its a continental glacier that does that.
