Glacier and Dunes
Across
- 2. A hill of sediment
- 3. is an ice sheet covering a part of a continent
- 4. A relatively straight, steep-sided, U-shaped valley that results from glacial erosion
- 6. A glacier that is confined by surrounding mountain terrain
- 8. a steep-sided mound of sand and gravel deposited by a melting ice sheet
- 9. A mass of rocks and sediment carried down and deposited by a glacier
- 12. where rocks contained within the glacier come into contact with other rocks
- 13. a long ridge of gravel and other sediment, typically having a winding course, deposited by meltwater from a retreating glacier or ice sheet
Down
- 1. Huge sheets of ice carved out the U-shaped valleys
- 3. bowl-shaped, amphitheater-like depressions that glaciers carve into mountains
- 5. A stage in the transformation of snow to glacier ice
- 7. a rock or boulder that differs from the surrounding rock and is believed to have been brought from a distance by glacial action
- 10. a deep open crack, especially one in a glacier
- 11. formed when glaciers erode three or more arĂȘtes, usually forming a sharp-edged peak
