Why do Continental glaciers smooth the landscape?
Continental glaciers smooth the landscape because continental glaciers are flat unlike the rough shapes of Alpine glaciers.
How is a continental and valley glaciers the same?
Continental glaciers are thicker and larger. Valley glaciers are formed on mountains; continental glaciers are formed on flat land.
What the 2 most common kinds of glaciers?
There are 2 main types of glaciers, Continental is one, they float away from central regions. The second is alpine or valley which are the glaciers that flow down the valley from the mountain.
What are the two kinds of glaciers and how are they different?
It is valley and continental glaciers they are different because continental glaciers are the largest, and valley glaciers are on the top of mountain peaks.
These glaciers are sometimes called icecaps?
continental
WHAT TYPE OF GLACIERS FLOWS IN EVERY DIRECTION?
Continental Glaciers
How do glaciers move for 6th grade?
A continental glacier can move in all directions and a valley glacier can move in a surge. :)
How are continental glacier and valley glaciers similar?
Continental and valley glaciers both develop in regions where there is constant snowfall and freezing temperatures throughout the year. Both types of glaciers move at a very slow pace.
How are continental and valley glaciers?
Continental glaciers are thicker and larger. Valley glaciers are formed on mountains; continental glaciers are formed on flat land.
Are continental glaciers found high in mountain valleys?
No. Valley glaciers are found in high mountain valleys. Continental glaciers, also called ice sheets, move across vast expanses of land regardless of terrain.
Why do Continental glaciers smooth the landscape?
Continental glaciers smooth the landscape because continental glaciers are flat unlike the rough shapes of Alpine glaciers.
What direction did glaciers move thousands of years ago?
they went north

Which way do glaciers move?
Glaciers are big chucks of ice that are usually seen at the north and south pole. The glacier's move in the direction of the waters current.
