Glaciation

3. I am a cold based glacier and I just can’t reach this point, so I’m frozen to the bedrock
5. I’m breaking up so fast that they’ve needed to relocate the Halley Research Station
8. I am a Serbian Mathematician who found correlation between Earth’s orbital patterns and glacial periods
9. Good job I often have sharp rocks at my base, to scratch the bedrock and show you which way I’ve gone
11. The portion of the Earth where water is in frozen form
12. Feedback loop that disrupts equilibrium and amplifies change towards a tipping point
13. Sometimes I get hot and bothered rubbing along the valley walls and will deposit moraine at the sides
15. As my insides are malleable, especially in the zone of plastic flow, I can traverse and stretch down the landscape. However, this can cause cracks in my brittle zone.

1. As I flow, I sometimes hit an obstacle and need to use pressure and heat to deform / move over it
2. Sometimes the ice is so thick that only the very peaks of mountains can be seen sticking out
3. Sometimes I like to show off and have a cold base at the top of the valley and a warm based at the bottom
4. I struggle to erode this type of resistant rock
6. Sandpapering that bedrock all day long.
7. This is our current Epoch. Not to be confused with a Taylor Swift Era.
10. I have more outputs than inputs, but what is my mass balance?
14. Something like a teapot lake, but not quite
16. A lovely smooth Stoss side is eroded first, followed by a steeper and more jagged Lee side
