Glaciation 1
Across
- 4. the difference between total accumulation and ablation
- 5. The zone of the glacier where outputs exceed inputs
- 8. found in corries where ice pivots around a central point
- 9. the type of glaciers found in Alpine regions.
- 12. Steeper valley floors make the glacier do this.
- 14. The area of the glacier where inputs and outputs are balanced.
Down
- 1. cracks in the ice caused by extending flow.
- 2. the process of movement commonly used by polar glaciers.
- 3. a tongue shaped mass of ice moving slowly down a valley
- 5. The zone of the glacier where inputs exceed outputs.
- 6. Glaciers found in areas where the temperature is permanently below Oc
- 7. Where there is a reduction in the glacier floor leading to a build-up of ice and a slowing down of the glacier
- 10. rapid flow due to a build-up of excessive meltwater
- 11. the process by which temperate glaciers move
- 13. the common term for the times when there were cold phases known as glacials
