Landforms of Glaciation

Corrie/cirque (E) – Rounded hollow in mountainside where

glacial ice accumulated. Hollow has been enlarged by glacial
erosion and by frost weathering.
Tarn (C) – Circular lake usually found in the bottom of a
corrie.
U-Shaped Valley (D) - They are formed in river valleys have
been filled by a large glacier. These glaciers have deepened
and widened the valley by plucking and abrasion.
Truncated spurs (A) - Interlocking spurs created by a river are
eroded at the ends by the glacier to create truncated spurs.
Hanging valley, with waterfall (G) - Hanging valleys are
formed as a result of the erosion effects of glaciation.
Arete (F) - It is formed when two glaciers erode parallel U-
shaped valleys.
Pyramidal Peak (B) - A pyramidal peak is formed where three
or more corries and aretes meet.
Ribbon Lake (H) - A glacier flows over softer rock. Softer rock
isn’t very resistant, so a glacier will carve a deeper trough.
When the glacier withdraws the melted water will be
collected in the deeper area.
Scree (I) – These stones are a result of freeze-thaw
weathering.
Terminal Moraine (J) – It is formed when the ice melts and
deposits all the moraine it was transporting at the front of
the glacier
