Across
- 3. a process of erosion involving the wearing away of the valley floor and sides
- 6. a finger of ice usually extending downhill from an ice cap and occupying a valley
- 8. slippage of ice along a curved surface
- 9. a sharp-edged mountain peak
- 10. a long narrow lake in the bottom of a glacier
- 11. a deep depression on a hillside with a steep back wall often containing a lake
Down
- 1. a period of some 2 million years where global temperatures fluctuated considerably
- 2. a tributary glacial trough perched up on the wide of a main valley, often marked by a waterfall
- 4. a knife-edged ridge, often formed between two corries
- 5. an eroded interlocking spur characterised by having a very steep cliff
- 6. a period of ice advance associated with falling temperatures
- 7. a process of glacial erosion where individual rocks are plucked from the valley floor or sides
