Can you compare the two main kinds of glaciers?


Rate This Answer

Glaciers are categorized in many ways including by their morphology, thermal characteristics or their behavior. Alpine glaciers form on the crests and slopes of mountains and are also known as "mountain glaciers", "niche glaciers", or "cirque glaciers". Ice caps feed "outlet glaciers", tongues of ice that extend into valleys. ChaCha again soon!
