2. Types of Glaciers
A large body of ice that flows downslope or spreads radially due to gravity. Glaciers cover ~ 10% of land surface today.
Types of Glaciers- based on local topography
Alpine – confined by surrounding bedrock highlands (small)
Cirque- create and occupy semicircular basins on Mountain sides
Valley- flow in valleys formally occupied by rivers
Ice caps- found on Mountain tops
Piedmont- found at foot of mountains
Continental Ice Sheets- massive ice that covers much of a continent
