figure #1: contenental glacier
figure #2: valley glacier
it can be found everywhere except austrailia.
I think it made them even larger because of all the ice that melted.

jasmine M. said...

that was a lot of ice and snow

Brian B said...

I think the glacier in figure one is a continental glacier.I think a valley glacier made the formation in figure two.You can find these glaciers in Antarctica and Greenland.I think the last ice age made the ocean level higher because of the melting glaciers.

the last ice age would have lifted the ocean levels by quite a bit covering land in water.you'd be more likely to find a valley glacier in the himalayan mountains or any other large mountain range.the glacier on fig. 1 looks like like its a continental glacier.

Collin.S said...

the first figure is a continental glacier
the second figure is a valley glacier
they can be found everywhere
the sea level rose because the ice melted

Dominique F. said...

In figure 1 the type of glacier that is shown is that the glacier broke off. In figure 2 i think that rocks snow and ice made the formation. You can find continental and valley glaciers by the Artic . I think the last ice age effected ocean level by the ice then it melted and made it bigger.

1. Continental glacier
2.Vally glacier
Well you could find them most anywhere that is cold so not like South Africa or other warm places like that.The last ice age must have made the sea level drop badly because most of the water would freeze.

Sarah L said...

1. Continental Glacier

2. Valley Glacier

3. Places cold and snowy

4. It made them higher because when the glaciers melted it added more water to the oceans

Nohr99 said...

Figure 1 is a continental glacier and figure 2 is a valley glacier. You can find evidence of continental and valley glaciers everywhere in the world. That the glaciers scraped the bottom of the ocean to make it deeper.

Jewel C said...

I think maybe figure 1 is a moraine deposit.
I think Figure two is a esker.
Maybe you can find it in Antarctica.
I think it effected the ocean levels because the ice might of melted into the ocean and put more and more water in it.

Aleha C said...

figure 1 Continental glacier.
figure 2 Vally glacier.
they could be found in a lot of places
The sea level got higher because when the ice melted.

Kyle M1 said...

The glaciers in fig. 1 are continental glaciers.
The glaciers in fig. 2 are valley glaciers.
you can find them in places like fairweather,Range
i think it took the water level down by turning it to ice.

Nate B. said...

1. Continental Glaciers

2. Valley Glaciers

3. Greenland and Asia

4.The last Ice Age effected the ocean level because when the ice melted the ocean got more water.

JordanF said...

1. continental glacier
2. valley glacier
3. con- poles in antarctica and greenland. valley- high mountains.
4. many glaciers melted into the ocean making it have much more water and a higher sea level.

kaylee m. said...

1. I think the type of glacier in figure 1 is a tidewater glacier.

2.i think the glacier in figure 2 is a valley glacier.

3.the arctic

4.it was ice then it all melted than brought the sea level up.

Alexis F. said...

1. I think that it is an ice glacier.
2. I think it is a mountain glacier.
3. valley glaciers are found in mountain regions all around the world.
4. The ice age was ice and it melted and that made more water in the ocean.

Rhiannon J said...

Figure 1 is a continental glacier.

Figure 2 is a valley glacier.

You could find them in Antartica and Greenland.

I think the ice age made the sea level higher when all the ice melted.

Kyle M2 said...

The figure 1 glacier is a continental glacier.The figure 2 glacier is a valley glacier.Near poles in Antarctica and Greenland is where you can find continental glaciers and Africa is where valley glaciers are found.The ice age probably made there be more water then land.

Serena M said...

1: figure one is continental glacier.

2: it is a valley glacier. you can find valley and continental glaciers everywhere.
the ice melted

molly m said...

Figure 1 is a continental glacier. Figure 2 is a valley glacier. You can find these type of glaciers in Greenland and Antartica.When the ice melted so the ocean got more water.

Dale B said...

figure 1 Continental glacier.
figure 2 Vally glacier.
they could be found in a lot of places
The sea level got higher because when the ice melted.

tyla g said...

the last ice age did a lot cause' when all that ice melts the water level rise a lot. and the more glaciers the more the water will rise.

Kiyah said...... said...

WOW!!!! How does so much snow and ice build up in one spot???

NICK P said...

tyla g said...

The more glaciers the more water.

Gail L(: said...

1. Is a continental glacier.
2. Is a valley glacier.
3. They are in Greenland and Africa.
4. After the ice melted all the water went in to the oceans and made the oceans bigger.

3 they are found in colder places

tyla g said...

it think figure 2 is a vally glacier.

Well,I know absolutely nothing about glaciers,so this is hard for me to answer.

Maddie C said...

1.Continental Glacier
2.Valley Glaciers
3.Very cold-low temperature. snowy.
4.Made ocean level higher because when it melts it adds more water to the ocean.

Kiyah said...... said...

1. continatle glacier
2. Vally glacier

cam.l said...

never mind i agree with jake t

Skye W said...

figure #1: contenental glacier
figure #2: valley glacier
They can be found everywere exept for austrailia
The last ice age efected the ocean by the water getting very cold and too much water

Emily W said...

Figure 1. I think is a continental glacier.
Figure 2. I think is a Vally glacier.
You can find them in Greenland and Antarctica.
The sea level is higher because the ice melted off the Glacier.

Sabrina D said...

Fig 1: Continental glacier
Fig 2: Valley glacier
You could find it in Antarctica

dustin h said...

figure #1# Continental glacier.

Bayli L. said...

1.I think figure 1 is an contenental glacier.
2.Figure 2 valley Glacier
3.You can find in Antartica
4.Larger from the melted ice.

Emily G. said...

1- Continental Glacier.
2- Valley Glacier.
3- You could find these glaciers in many places like Antartica.
4- When the ice melted it caused more water because when ice melts it causes more water.

Hannah N said...

I think what type of Glacier in figure 1 and 2, is Figure 1 is continental glacier and figure 2 is a Valley Glacier. They could be found in may places. The sea level got higher, because of the sea level got so high is when the ice melted. :)

Dillon M said...

fig 1.Continental glaciers

fig 2.Vally Glaciers

the water increced in hight because the ice melted into water.

NICK P said...

Continental Glaciers
Vally Glaciers
Glaciers are found in mountains

Jake T. said...

I think figure 1 is a continental glacier.I think you can find those glaciers in antartica.I think the last ice age effected the ocean levels by making the current and waves stronger

3. antarctica

Dale Said....... said...

Ice age rocks!!! its so much fun to studyyyy

dh said...

i ment antartica

Stephen F said...

glaciers in antarctica are half of the reason we have half of the water we do have all around the world.

Anonymous said...

The answer to 4 is the ice melted in the oceans and made them bigger.

Julia M said...

1. a big glacier of a pile of snow falling from a mountain.
2. it is a spot where a glacier moved through when the iceage happened.

What type of glacier do think is represent in figure 1?(I think that figure 1 is of a continental glacier because it looks like a glacier in the antarctic and at the north pole!!!)
What type of glacier do you think made the formation in figure 2?(I think this was made by an earth quake, this would be a valley glacier.they are found in hot climates like in L.A.)

How do you think the last ice age effected ocean levels? (i think the last ice effected the oceans by making the level lower) I<3 will

Aaron R said...

you can find glaciers in many parts of the world. most you will find high you in the mountains. though others such as the ones in antartica and greenland.

Grace Berks said...

1. continental glacier.

2. valley glacier

3. everywhere except Australia

4. the ocean levels would rise

Connor P said...

Connor P said...

I think the glacier in figure one is a glacier approaching the ocean and melting into it. As the glacier enters the ocean the ocean level will rise. I believe this is a Continental Glacier

Tanner M said...

1. continental glacier

2. valley glacier

3. antarctica, greenland,
I think that the it made the water level go up because glaciers and ice melted

Connor P said...

Figure two is a Valley glacier

Aaron R said...

there are many different types of glaciers. some are continental glaciers, some are valley glaciers, etc. you can find continental glaciers on antartica and greenland. you can find valley glaciers on mountains such as kilomengaro

Katy Bearer said...

The picture in figure one (1) is a continental glacier. The glacier in figure two (2) is a valley glacier. These can be found in cold climates.

Cameron T said...

1. Figure 1 looks like a contenental glacier because you can see them on Tv because of globle warming.You can find them at Greenland or Antarctica.
2. Figure 2 looks like a glacier where it slowely moved, paving a valley.You can find them in the Himilayan Mountains.
3.The last ice age rose the water level because when it melted it rose the sea level a lot.

Tanner M said...

pretty much everywhere except for Austrailia

Erik C said...

continental glacier

valley glacier

Greenland and Antarctica

Aaron R said...

you can find many glaciers in glacier national park Montana and Canada

Holly J said...

In figure 1 I think it is a continental glacier an it could be found in Antarctica or Alaska.

In figure 2 I think it is a valley glacier an I think you could find it in a place where there is a lot of mountains like mountain ranges.

I think the last ice age made the oceans levels higher because when all the ice melted some of it was added to the ocean and made it higher.

Erik C said...

glaciers are found in polar climates

Ian C said...

The first figure is a picture of a continental.
The second picture is made by a valley glacier
You can find continental glaciers in greenland, antartica, and the artic.
The last ice age affected the ocean level because it made it lower because at the north and south everything is frozen not liqudated.

Spencer P. Shields said...

Figure one is a Continental glacier figure two is a valley glacier. The ice age made the water drop

sarah m said...

figure 1 is a continental glacier
figure 2 is a valley glacier
I think valley glaciers are in Alaska and continental glaciers are in Greenland.
I think it caused the ocean to rise.

Jared {~Jarebear~} C said...

I think figure one is a continental glacier, like a floating chunk of ice, kinda like an island. Figure 2 looks like a giant snow covered grand canyon. So i would say its a canyon or valley glacier. I think the last ice age made the ocean level higher, because of all the melting ice. And, I think my name is sorta resonsibible, right? Yea, your right, Jarebear needs to butt out, sorry.

Erik C said...

The oceans became smaller because ocean water was frozen into glaciers.

Aaron R said...

ever since the last ice age the glaciers have been melting and the water level rising

Kasey G. said...

1. Continental glacier

2. Valley glacier

3. Continental glaciers are currently only found in Antarctica and Greenland. Valley glaciers are found all over North America, but they can be found in almost all mountainous regions all over the world. Some of the larger ones are found in Alaska and along the Rocky Mountains.

4. After the last ice age, the water levels rose because the ice melted.

Spencer P. Shields said...

glaciers can be found in the colder climates

Archer t said...

1. Fig. 1 is a continental glacier, or a massive sheet of ice.
2. Fig. 2 is a valley carved by a valley glacier, or a slender tongue of ice.
3. You can find continental glaciers in Antarctica and Greenland. You can find valley glaciers in high mountains like the Himalayas, Alps, and Alaska Range.
4. The last ice age lowered sea levels by trapping massive amounts of seawater in ice. That's how the first Americans traveled to America, across the land bridge from Siberia to Alaska.

Isaiahp said...

1.In fig 1 it looks like a continental glacier.
2.In fig 2 it looks like a valley.
3. You could find continental glaciers in Antarctica. And you could find valley glaciers in Greenland.
4. The last ice age affected sea level because the ice went into the water and sense ice is a form of water, it causes the sea level to go up.

Spencer P. Shields said...

Depending on the time in the ice age at the beginning of the ice age the water would lower at the end the water water would rise higher

matt c said...

the first glacier is a continental and the second is a valley glacier.

you could find them in Antarctica.

the last ice age made the water lower and then after it melted it rose

Nick M said...

I think the glacier in Figure 1 is a continental glacier. The glacier in Figure 2 is probably a valley glacier. You could find a continental glacier in Greenland, or Antarctica. You would probably find a valley glacier in Alaska. The last ice age effected the ocean levels because the ice age would freeze up the ocean, then glaciers would move the water onto land.

Bearor, Kathryn E. said...

There are two types of glaciers, valley and continental. You can find these glaciers in cold climates. For example you can find them in the arctic ocean. The ice age made the water levels rise because when the glaciers melted it added to the sea level. Or did it? I don't mean to start a debate but where did the water come from? Please respond.

Connor P said...

I think the glacier in figure one is a glacier approaching the ocean and melting into it. As the glacier enters the ocean the ocean level will rise. I believe this is a Continental Glacier. Figure two is a Valley glacier

You can find a Continental Glacier on Antartica and Greenland
You can find Valley Glaciers on mountainous areas such as Tibet

The last ice age both lowered the water levels but raised it. During the Ice age, water level lowered, but as the ice melted it rose the levels up

Will P said...

1. Continental Glaciers.

2. Valley Glaciers.

3. Valley glaciers in the middle east. Continental glaciers near the north and south pole.

4. The last ice age affected the ocean level because during the ice age the water level dropped because it was being turned into ice. But when the ice age ended the ocean level rose back to normal.

Aaron R said...

I disagree eric because the water from the glaciers has raised the level of the worlds bodies of water

Mason B said...

In figure 1 a continental glacier is depicted which can mostly found in colder regions of the world, such as, Greenland and Antarctica. In figure 2 there's a valley glacier which are normally found in regions of the world that have a warmer climate. After the last ice age the ocean levels I think were effected greatly because after all the melting they would have risen greatly.
