A continental glacier flows in all directions?

yes...


Does a continental glacier flow in all directions?

No, a continental glacier generally flows radially outward from its center due to the force of gravity. However, the flow direction can be influenced by factors such as topography and subglacial geology.


What is the term for all sediments of glacier origin called?

Glacial drift is the term for all sediments of glacier origin.


What is a feature formed by tributary glacier?

Moraines, aretes, cols, horns, and cirques. As a glacier flows downward (even when retreating it's still flowing downhill) it is cycling dock debris, called glacial till, throughout itself. The till gets deposited along the sides of the glaciers, forming lateral moraines. When the glacier is stable in one location (when the rate of melting is equal to the rate of flowing), a terminal moraine forms at the nose of the glacier. Cirques are the large bowls left on the mountain where the glacier came from. Horns are where three or four cirques all come together (look at a picture of the Matterhorn). Aretes are knife like rides either between two cirques or glacial valleys. Cols are low spots within cirques or aretes, usually named as passes. Glacial valleys are U-shaped. A lake in a cirque is a tarn.


What is the general term for all sediments deposited by a glacier?

Glacial deposits, often referred to as glacial drift, are the general term for all sediments deposited by a glacier. This can include material like till, moraine, and glacial erratics left behind as the glacier moves and melts.

What A very large body of ice that flows outward in all directions is called?

A very large body of ice that flows outward in all directions is called a glacier. Glaciers form from the accumulation and compaction of snow over time and can vary in size from small valley glaciers to vast ice sheets covering significant land areas, such as those in Antarctica and Greenland. They play a crucial role in shaping landscapes and influencing global sea levels.
