How do glide consonants differ from other types of consonants in terms of their articulation and sound production?

Glide consonants, also known as semivowels, are produced with a smooth transition from one sound to another, resembling a vowel sound. Unlike other consonants that have a more abrupt sound production, glide consonants have a more gradual and flowing articulation. This makes them unique in their sound production as they blend characteristics of both consonants and vowels.
