Glaciers
Across
- 2. A slow-moving mass or river of ice, formed from snow on mountains.
- 4. A process of glacial erosion where moving glacier ice freezes onto underlying bedrock, pulling and lifting large chunks of rock away as the glacier advances.
- 5. Sand, stones, mud, etc. carried by water or wind and left, for example, on the bottom of a lake, river, etc.
- 7. The mechanical wearing away of bedrock surfaces by rock fragments and sediment dragged along at the base of a moving glacier.
- 9. A bowl-shaped, steep-walled mountain basin or amphitheater carved into the side or top of a mountain by a glacier.
Down
- 1. One of several, long, straight, parallel lines or grooves in a bedrock surface, formed by boulders, gravel, and pebbles embedded in a glacier that has passed over the surface.
- 3. To leave a layer of something on the surface of something, especially gradually and over a period of time.
- 6. Material left behind by a moving glacier.
- 8. A sharp, steep, pyramid-shaped mountain peak formed when three or more glaciers erode a single mountain from different sides.
