Glaciers
Across
- 2. deep & steep bowl-shaped depression
- 4. theory that changes in earth's orbit & tilt change and cause climatic changes
- 7. tributary valley suspended high above the valley floor
- 10. landform made from unsorted sediments deposited by a glacier
- 11. stratified drift in front of the glacier
- 13. elevation where snow & ice stay throughout the year
- 15. long, winding ridge of gravel and sand deposited by meltwater stream
- 16. glacier that is large and not confined
- 20. glacier's ice deforms under pressure and slides over each other
- 21. large crack in glacier from ice movement
- 22. unsorted rock deposited by a melting glacier
- 23. sharp, pyramid-like peak formed by erosion of cirques
Down
- 1. bowl-shaped depression in glacial drift deposit
- 3. grainy ice
- 5. block of ice floating in the ocean
- 6. motionless mass of snow & ice
- 8. large mass of moving ice
- 9. long period of climatic cooling when continents were covered by glaciers
- 12. glacier found in mountainous regions
- 14. ice at the glacier's base melts causing it to slide
- 15. large rock transported by a glacier
- 17. sharp, jagged ridge between cirques
- 18. rock material carried & deposited by glaciers
- 19. rounded knobs of rock
