Across
  1. 1. cracks in the ice caused by extending flow.
  2. 2. the type of glaciers found in Alpine regions.
  3. 3. a tongue shaped mass of ice moving slowly down a valley
  4. 4. The area of the glacier where inputs and outputs are balanced.
  5. 6. rapid flow due to a build-up of excessive meltwater
  6. 9. the difference between total accumulation and ablation
  7. 10. Glaciers found in areas where the temperature is permanently below Oc
  8. 11. found in corries where ice pivots around a central point
  9. 13. the process of movement commonly used by polar glaciers.
  10. 14. The zone of the glacier where outputs exceed inputs
Down
  1. 1. Where there is a reduction in the glacier floor leading to a build-up of ice and a slowing down of the glacier
  2. 5. Steeper valley floors make the glacier do this.
  3. 7. the common term for the times when there were cold phases known as glacials
  4. 8. The zone of the glacier where inputs exceed outputs.
  5. 12. the process by which temperate glaciers move
