A glacier and a desert are both void of drinkable water that is easily accessed. There are both areas that animals have had to adapt to live in. A desert just has little rain fall and is hot, a glacier has little snow fall but has lots of frozen water that is of no use for drinking. It is very cold on a glacier as it is ice.

What is one main difference between continental glaciers and valley glaciers?
Valley glaciers travel down between the mountain ridges; these glaciers carry rock debris with them as they move. Continental glaciers are giant ice masses that cover hundreds of miles. They flow out onto the sea, where they form floating ice shelves. Continental glaciers smooth the landscape by scraping and eroding features that existed before the ice appeared. Alpine glaciers carve out rugged features in the mountain rocks through which they flow and are also are very different in elevation.
What is the diffrnece between advancing retreating and stationary glaciers?
Advancing glaciers are glaciers that are moving forward and expanding, while retreating glaciers are glaciers that are melting and shrinking. Stationary glaciers are glaciers that are not currently advancing or retreating, maintaining a relatively stable position.

How are glaciers different from alpine glaciers?
They difference between them is where there flow. Continental glaciers are enormous ice sheets, and are found in Greenland and Antarctica. Alpine glaciers form in mountain valleys.
What is the difference between alpine and continental glaciers?
Alpine glaciers form in mountainous regions and are confined within valleys or cirques, while continental glaciers are large ice sheets that cover vast land areas. Alpine glaciers are typically smaller and more fragmented compared to the continuous ice sheets of continental glaciers.
