Across
- 5. Hill of till that is shaped like half an egg
- 6. Unsorted debris of varying sizes deposited directly by the glacier (not water)
- 9. knob Rock outcrop reformed by a glacier - with one side that is smooth and the other jagged due to rocks being plucked out as the glacier moved forward
- 11. plain Expansive flat area in front of a glacier when it is retreating, where sediments are deposited by meltwater (often dominated by braided rivers)
- 12. Series of glaciations and interglaciations (warm periods). Several of these have happened over Earth’s history.
- 14. Huge boulder in the middle of nowhere that was clearly deposited by a glacier
- 17. Scrapes, scratches, and grooves formed in bedrock as glacier dragged rocks and other objects as it advanced
- 18. Glaciers found at high altitudes
- 19. A winding deposit of sand and gravel from meltwater running through a glacier
- 20. aka Continental glacier
- 21. Bottom end of a glacier
- 23. The name of the last ice age
Down
- 1. Formed from a large chunk of ice that was dropped and melted
- 2. Granular, compacted snow that has passed through one summer melt season
- 3. Glacier found at high latitudes that covers large areas (over 50,000 km2) and flows out in all directions
- 4. Crescent-shaped gouges chipped out of bedrock due to a rock or other object being dragged along
- 7. The name of the ice sheet that covered most of Canada in the last ice age
- 8. Large mass of ice made up from compacted & re-crystallized snow that flows under its own weight on land.
- 10. Ridges or mounds of till deposited at the ends and sides of glaciers as they retreat
- 13. Characteristic shape of a valley that has been shaped by a glacier
- 15. Area of a glacier where snow is removed by melting and sublimation
- 16. Deep crack in the top, brittle ice of a glacier
- 22. line Line above which snow remains all year (aka line of equilibrium, firn line)
