Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Glaciers that flow in steep-sided valleys are called valley glaciers. Tidewater glaciers flow into the ocean, piedmont glaciers spread out into flat plains at the base of mountains, calving glaciers are those that produce large chunks of ice breaking off into the water, and alpine glaciers typically refer to those at high elevations in mountainous regions but don't necessarily flow through steep-sided valleys.
