Glaciation
Across
- 3. I am a cold based glacier and I just can’t reach this point, so I’m frozen to the bedrock
- 5. I’m breaking up so fast that they’ve needed to relocate the Halley Research Station
- 8. I am a Serbian Mathematician who found correlation between Earth’s orbital patterns and glacial periods
- 9. Good job I often have sharp rocks at my base, to scratch the bedrock and show you which way I’ve gone
- 11. The portion of the Earth where water is in frozen form
- 12. Feedback loop that disrupts equilibrium and amplifies change towards a tipping point
- 13. Sometimes I get hot and bothered rubbing along the valley walls and will deposit moraine at the sides
- 15. As my insides are malleable, especially in the zone of plastic flow, I can traverse and stretch down the landscape. However, this can cause cracks in my brittle zone.
Down
- 1. As I flow, I sometimes hit an obstacle and need to use pressure and heat to deform / move over it
- 2. Sometimes the ice is so thick that only the very peaks of mountains can be seen sticking out
- 3. Sometimes I like to show off and have a cold base at the top of the valley and a warm based at the bottom
- 4. I struggle to erode this type of resistant rock
- 6. Sandpapering that bedrock all day long.
- 7. This is our current Epoch. Not to be confused with a Taylor Swift Era.
- 10. I have more outputs than inputs, but what is my mass balance?
- 14. Something like a teapot lake, but not quite
- 16. A lovely smooth Stoss side is eroded first, followed by a steeper and more jagged Lee side
