glaciers
Giant glaciers are called ice sheets. These massive expanses of ice cover large areas of land and are found in Antarctica and Greenland. Ice sheets can be several kilometers thick and have a significant impact on global climate.
Thick sheets of ice that can cover large areas of a continent are called continental glaciers or ice caps. Examples of continental glaciers are in Antarctica and Greenland The ice sheets that form in these two locations are up to 3500 meters thick. thank you a lot
Huge ice blankets are called ice sheets. These are large expanses of glacial ice covering more than 50,000 square kilometers of land. The two largest ice sheets on Earth are the Antarctic Ice Sheet and the Greenland Ice Sheet.
valley glaciers are constrained by their surroundings. And ice sheets dont Ice sheets are large
Chunks do not really mean something very small like most people may think,it could be a large particle or huge mass. Floating chunks of ice from ice sheets or ice shelves (land ice) are called "ICEBERGS", while large areas of floating sea ice are called "ICE FLOES".
Antarctica is a desert. It does not rain or snow a lot there. When it snows, the snow does not melt and builds up over many years to make large, thick sheets of ice, called ice sheets
When ice sheets melt, the water from the ice flows into the ocean, causing sea levels to rise.

On land a large body of permanent ice is a glacier; in the water this is an iceberg.
valley glaciers are constrained by their surroundings. And ice sheets dont Ice sheets are large
It can cover much of a hemisphere, as the ice sheets did in the Pleistocene Ice Age.

Ice floes.
Ice sheets and glaciers are two components of the cryosphere, which refers to the frozen water on Earth. Ice sheets are large expanses of ice that cover land, while glaciers are large bodies of ice that flow slowly over land.
