Clues

  • Rocks break off the back and side walls of the valley when meltwater gets into the cracks and freezes (5, 10)
  • Steep-sided valleys with flat bottoms (7, 7)
  • The lower part of a glacier where there is more ablation than accumulation (4, 2, 8)
  • The place where accumulation and ablation are equal (11, 5)
  • The upper part of a glacier where there is more accumulation than ablation (4, 2, 12)
  • When glaciers move in an arc shape when they are in a hollow (10, 4)
  • When temperatures drop and the ground contracts and cracks (5, 11)
  • Where layers of ice slip downwards due to gravity (11, 4)
  • Where layers of ice slip forwards due to slow movement lower down the glacier (13, 4)
  • Where the ice bends and warps to flow downhill like a liquid (8, 11)
