How do mountain glaciers and continental glaciers differ in terms of dimensions, thickness and patterns of movement?

Question:
How do mountain glaciers and continental glaciers differ in terms of dimensions, thickness and patterns of movement?


Continental glaciers are thicker, much more expansive sheets. Mountain glaciers flow downhill as a result of gravity acting on the mass of ice. Continental glaciers move in response to pressure from the weight of material in their thick midsections.


Hope this helped!
