A confined glacier is a glacier that is confined by topography. For example, a glacier that forms on a mountain. Continental glaciers, by contrast, are not affected. The glaciers on Antarctica and Greenland are continental glaciers. The glaciers at Glacier Bay National Park, or on a mountain are confined glaciers.
What else can I help you with?
A valley glacier spreads out over a large island or continent. true or false?
True. A valley glacier is typically confined to a valley and flows down from mountainous regions, while a glacier that spreads out over a large area, covering much of an island or continent, is known as a continental glacier or ice sheet. Examples of this include the Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets.
Can you name four NZ glaciers?

What is a growing glacier different from a melting glacier?
A melting glacier gets smaller, but a growing glacier gets bigger.
What is a glacier snout?
A glacier snout is the terminus or end point of a glacier where ice and meltwater are released. It is where the glacier meets lower elevations and warmer temperatures, causing melting and ice loss. The snout can vary in shape and size depending on the glacier's dynamics.
The end or outer margin of a glacier?
The end or outer margin of a glacier is called the glacier terminus. This is where the glacier ends and begins to melt or calve into the surrounding environment, such as a body of water or land. Changes in the glacier terminus are closely monitored by scientists to understand the health and movement of the glacier.
A valley glacier spreads out over a large island or continent. true or false?
True. A valley glacier is typically confined to a valley and flows down from mountainous regions, while a glacier that spreads out over a large area, covering much of an island or continent, is known as a continental glacier or ice sheet. Examples of this include the Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets.
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.

Is glacier canyon a real glacier?
No, a glacier canyon is not a real glacier. A glacier canyon is a canyon formed by the movement of a glacier over time, carving out the landscape as it flows.

What do you call the tip of a glacier?
The tip of a glacier is called the glacier terminus or glacier snout. It is the furthest point reached by the glacier as it flows downhill.
