FORMATION OFCORRIE, ARETE and PYRAMID PEAK.In this set of diagrams we shall see how theprocesses of plucking and abrasion, as well asROTATIONAL FLOW and frost shattering createthe three most common features of UPLANDglacial erosion.Annotated photo of corrie and lochan inScottish Highlands
Corries, arêtes and pyramidal peaks are distinctive features of upland glaciation, found in eg Cairngorms and Lake District. Drawinglabelled diagrams is a good way of explaining how they are formed
