What is a type of Alpine glacier?
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.
What are Piedmont glaciers?
Piedmont glaciers are a type of glacier that forms when a valley glacier spills out onto relatively flat plains, creating a wide fan-shaped lobe. These glaciers are common in regions with mountainous terrain, where the glaciers flow downhill and spread out as they reach lower elevations. Piedmont glaciers can be found in places like Alaska, Norway, and the Alps.
How do glaciers form u-shaped valleys?
A U-shaped valley begins as a V-shaped river valley. If the temperature is low enough, a glacier (river of ice) forms inside the valley. As the glacier slowly moves, it scours the valley floor when the temperature rises and the glaciers melts away, a U-shaped valley is left behind.
Continental Ice Shelves are forms of?
glaciers
What is a long narrow glacier that forms between mountains?
A long narrow glacier that forms between mountains is called a valley glacier. These glaciers flow down valleys, eroding the surrounding landscape as they move. Valley glaciers are common in mountainous regions around the world.

When multiple glaciers start their downward flow from a single point they create a?
When multiple glaciers start their downward flow from a single point, they create a valley glacier. This type of glacier forms as two or more alpine glaciers flow together and merge into a single larger glacier that moves down a valley. Valley glaciers can be quite large and have a significant impact on shaping the landscape.
What process forms and valleys?
Glaciers, mostly Glaciers Melting

What forms Norway's f Jords?
Glaciers.

What agent of erosion most likely produced this valley's shape?
When the glacier is moving down the side of the valley it scrapes of the rocks. The grinding changes the shape of the valley so that it is rounded.
