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.
Sharp pyramid-shaped peaks formed by alpine glaciers are called horn glaciers. Horn glaciers are created when three or more cirque glaciers erode a mountain from different sides, leaving behind a sharp-edged peak. Famous examples include the Matterhorn in the Alps.
The Matterhorn was primarily shaped by glacial erosion. The movement of glaciers over thousands of years carved and sculpted the distinctive pyramid shape of the mountain.
Water erosion is a type of formation that moves sediment and erodes rock. This can occur through processes such as rivers carving out canyons, waves breaking down coastlines, or glaciers scraping across land.
glacial deposition and glacial erosion
Montana has both Valley and Continental glaciers.
Continental Glaciers
valley glaciers
By keeping it frozen. Unfortunately global climate change has had a detrimental effect on most glaciers. In 1910 there were 150 glaciers in Montana's Glacier National Park, by 2010 there were barely 25 left.
Glaciers
One type of Alpine glacier is a cirque glacier, which forms in a bowl-shaped depression on the side of a mountain. These glaciers are typically small and may be found at the head of a valley or on a mountainside.
Glaciers
Antarctica is a continental glacier. Alpine glaciers are a different type of glacier.
the soil became very wet and slushy when the glaciers melted
Glaciers in North America are primarily found in Alaska and the Pacific Northwest region of the United States, particularly in states like Washington and Montana. Glacier National Park in Montana is home to several prominent glaciers. There are also glaciers in parts of Canada, such as the Canadian Rockies and the Coast Mountains in British Columbia.
Hannah Montana LOL!!
