What else can I help you with?
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.
Where do you find alpine glaciers?
The alpine glaciers are high in the mountains.
The small glaciers that exist in high mountainous areas are called?
its not mountain glaciers but its valley glaciers
The small glaciers that exist in high mountainout areas are called what?
Valley Glaciers :)
What is the name of bowl like features cut into mountains or hills where glaciers form?
That would be called a Fjord.
What are glaciers formed in mountains called?
Glaciers formed in mountains are called mountain glaciers or alpine glaciers. They are found in high-altitude regions and flow downhill through valleys.
What role did glaciers play in california's geology?
Glaciers carved large U-shaped valleys in higher mountains of the Sierra Nevada, Cascades, Klamath Mountains, and northern Coast Range. The outwash and moraines from melting and receding glaciers are found in nearby valley bottoms. The signs of former glaciers are found in erratic boulders, glacial polish, and high lake basins. Glacial erosion has been significant in the mountain areas.
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.
Are glaciers only found in the Arctic and the Antarctic?
No. Glaciers are found in higher elevations where the ice can survive colder than 32 degrees F. Most high mountains in the world host permanent glaciers.
Where do you find alpine glaciers?
The alpine glaciers are high in the mountains.
Dose a valley glacier or a contenental glacier or both cover entire land areas?
Valley glaciers are formed in high altitudes (e.g. mountains) and continental glaciers are formed in high latitudes (e.g. Greenland). Therefore, they both cover land areas but continental glaciers generally cover more area.
The small glaciers that exist in high mountainous areas are called?
its not mountain glaciers but its valley glaciers
The small glaciers that exist in high mountainout areas are called what?
Valley Glaciers :)
Why is it that Peru is near the equator but there are over 300 glaciers in Northern Peru?
Those glaciers are high in the mountains.
What is the name of bowl like features cut into mountains or hills where glaciers form?
That would be called a Fjord.
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.
These glaciers are sometimes called icecaps?
These are glaciers that cover a large area but have a relatively low profile. They are often found in polar regions or high mountains and are commonly referred to as ice caps due to their shape and size.
