Across
- 2. A ridge formed by the till deposited at the edge of a glacier.

- 4. A mound of till that is smoothed in the direction of a glacier's flow.
- 5. When a glacier scoops out a valley in the shape of a U.
- 7. The process by which a glacier picks up rocks as it flows over the land.

- 14. Any large mass of ice that moves slowly over land.
- 15. When the level of the sea rises, water fills a valley once cut by a glacier.
- 16. A small depression that forms when a chunk of ice is left in glacial till.

- 6. A long narrow glacier that forms when snow and ice build up in a mountain valley.
- 8. A sharp ridge separating two cirques.
- 11. When a depression left in till by melting ice fills with water.
