Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When several valley glaciers merge and spread out onto a flat plain, they form a piedmont glacier. A cirque glacier only occupies a bowl-shaped depression on the side of a mountain. An ice cap covers a large area of land and is not necessarily associated with a mountain range. A tidewater glacier flows into the ocean and often calves icebergs. A terminal moraine is a ridge of sediment deposited at the end of a glacier. None of these options accurately describe the formation of a glacier from several valley glaciers.
