The general direction of continental glacial advance in the United States was from north to south.

Step-by-step explanation:

Glacial advance involves glacier moving from one place to another. In glacial advance, the glaciers do not melt but move at a faster pace as compared to the pace at which they melt.

Continental glaciers are very large in size and flow outward from their point of accumulation. The movement of continental glaciers in United States has been from north to south because of presence of many such glaciers in North America.

The continental glacial advanced in the united state was generally from the North to the south.Glacier flow over the land surface along a path of resistance.Alpine glacier into valley causes the glacier to rapidly advance producing a swollen like tongue ice at the glacier snout.
