Continental Ice Sheet Morphology
| Continental Ice Sheets, because of where
they form, do not lend themselves to the variety of erosional features seen in alpine,
valley and cirque glaciers. Most of the evidence of their existence is in their depositional features, although local erosion (like this trough on
Baffin Island, Canada) can be impressive. Click on the links to view a picture and a description of the
features of a Continental Ice Sheet. |
