Geography A AQA GCSE - Physical. Up to end of 2013 (I think, anyway, my exam is in May/June 2013).

All of the key words you need and maybe even more!

Clues

  • A period of ice advance associated with falling temperatures. (7, 6)
  • A type of weathering found in glacial environments (6, 4, 10)
  • A valley with steep sides and a flat base, once occupied by a glacier. (7, 6)
  • Huge amounts of material build up at the snout,forming a high ridge. It represents the furthest extent of the glacier's advance. (8, 7)
  • Material dragged underneath the glacier, usually picked up by abrasion and left behind when the ice melts. (6, 7)
  • The balance between the inputs and outputs of a glacier. (7, 6)
  • The last ice age. (11, 5)
  • The microscopic movement of particles or layers of ice within the glacier. (8, 11)
  • The slippage of ice along a curved surface. (10, 4)
  • When a tributary glacier joins a main glacier, their two lateral moraines merge to form a single one. When the glacier melts, a line of sediment along the base of the valley remains. (6, 7)
