What is one main difference between continental glaciers and valley glaciers? a. continental glaciers are much larger and thicker. b. each type of glacier is made of different materials. c. valley glaciers cause more erosion. d. continental glaciers never melt.

The correct answer would be a. Continental glaciers are much larger and thicker.

Continental glaciers are the type of glaciers which cover large continent-sized areas such as found in Antarctica, north pole, and Greenland.

They are formed by the accumulation of snow over years. They are much larger and thicker than the valley glaciers.

In contrast, valley glaciers are much smaller and thinner glaciers which are usually confined to the mountain valleys. They flow from higher to lower elevations.
