Across
  1. 2. An erosional landform that is a valley that has been eroded by a glacier (omit hyphen)
  2. 4. A depositional landform that is a type of moraine that is formed along the sides of a glacier
  3. 8. The erosive process whereby material entrained in the ice scrapes along bedrock
  4. 17. A depositional landform that is a type of moraine that is deposited at the front of a glacier where the glacier’s retreat has temporarily halted
  5. 18. The elevation on a glacier where the net mass balance is zero (two words)
  6. 20. Well-sorted glacial sediment that was deposited by the meltwater from a glacier
  7. 21. A depositional landform that is a ridge of debris (till) that was deposited at the margin of a glacier
  8. 23. Snow that has been compacted, melted, and then refrozen to become more dense
  9. 24. An erosional landform that is a type of glacial valley formed by the intersection of a tributary glacier with a trunk (main) glacier, usually at a higher elevation
  10. 25. Deposits of fine powder from glaciers that have been transported and then deposited by the wind
  11. 27. An erosional landform that is a bowl-shaped or amphitheater-like basin high upon a mountain, that is/was the origin of an alpine glacier
  12. 28. One of the two types of glacial drift; poorly-sorted material deposited by a glacier at the margins of the ice
  13. 29. The general process of loss of glacial ice
  14. 30. An erosional landform that is a small, circular lake formed in a cirque basin
Down
  1. 1. An erosional landform that is a valley that has been eroded by a glacier (two words)
  2. 3. A boulder carried from its source area by a glacier and deposited to a new location where that bedrock type is not normally found
  3. 5. The process of addition of new glacial ice
  4. 6. A depositional glacial landform that is steep-sided and sinuous in shape; a ridge formed by glacial streams underneath the ice
  5. 7. The erosional landform that is asymmetrical in profile with the steep side facing downvalley (two words)
  6. 9. A depositional landform that is a cigar-shaped mound of sediment created underneath an ice sheet where the long axis lies parallel to the direction of ice movement
  7. 10. The process by which many glaciers move by sliding (two words)
  8. 11. A lake that developed in a presently arid area during wetter periods associated with glaciations
  9. 12. An erosional landform that is a knifelike, jagged ridge that separates two adjacent glaciers, glacial valleys, or cirques
  10. 13. An erosional landform that is a pyramid-like mountain peak that is the result of multiple adjacent or opposite-facing cirques
  11. 14. Along with Quarrying, the erosive process where blocks of rock are removed from bedrock under flowing glacial ice
  12. 15. A depositional landform that is a type of moraine that is deposited at the front of a glacier at the furthest extent of advance
  13. 16. A steep-sided depression formed in glaciated landscapes that is the result of the melting of a block of glacial ice
  14. 19. An erosional landform that is a narrow, steep-sided, elongated inlet of the ocean where a glacial trough intersects the ocean
  15. 22. A specific process of loss of glacial ice that involves the collapse of steep ice cliffs
  16. 26. A depositional landform that is a broad flat apron of well-sorted sediment deposited from the meltwater from a glacier (two words)
