How the 2 kinds of glaciers and are they different?

The two main types of glaciers are valley glaciers and continental glaciers. Valley glaciers, also known as alpine glaciers, form in mountainous regions and flow down through valleys, while continental glaciers, or ice sheets, cover vast areas of land and flow in all directions from their center. The key difference lies in their size and location: valley glaciers are smaller and confined to mountainous terrains, whereas continental glaciers are extensive, covering large portions of continents, such as Antarctica and Greenland. Both types are crucial in shaping landscapes and influencing global sea levels.
