What type of glacier forms in a mountainous area?

What is a bowl-shaped depression formed by glacial erosion?

unsorted rock material deposited directly by ice as it melts

What are sharp pyramid shaped peaks formed by alpine glaciers called?

What are jagged ridges that form on mountains called?

which type of moraine (mass of unsorted glacial sediment) forms along each side of a glacier?

_____ is the removal of large chunks of rock debris by glaciers.

_____ is the unsorted material that is deposited directly by ice.

_____ are enormous boulders transported and deposited by glaciers, often far from their source region.

A _____ is a meandering narrow ridge formed when water, flowing in a tunnel underneath a melting glacier, deposited sediment

The diagram represents a stream valley. Which diagram below best shows how this valley might be modified after a glacier has moved through it?

A _____ is an oval mound of unsorted sediment (till). It shows the direction of glacial movement.

A _____ are depressions formed as stranded ice blocks melt in outwash.

The photograph shows scratched and grooved

bedrock with boulders on its surface. The scratches and grooves were most likely created when

Base your answer to the following question on the diagram which represents a profile of a mountain glacier in the northern United States. Over a period of years, this glacier gains more snow mass than it loses. What will be the most likely result of this gain?

Which landscape feature was most likely formed by glacial activity?

What is a flat area of sorted sediments deposited by meltwater from the end of a glacier

Base your answer to the following question on the diagram which represents a profile of a mountain glacier in the northern United States. Over a period of years, this glacier loses more snow mass than it gains. What will be the most likely result of this gain?

What are interwoven streams formed by melt water from the glacier?

___________ is a Rock formation caused by the passing of the glacier and shows the direction of movement of the glacier

A small mound of sorted sand and gravel that was deposited by a glacial meltwater is called a _______

_________ is a small mountain lake formed in a cirque excavated by a glacier

What is a long, narrow, deep bay between high cliffs carved by a glacier

The type of moraine (mass of unsorted glacial sediment) deposited at the point of furthest advance of a glacier or ice sheet.

Type of moraine (mass of unsorted glacial sediment) that runs down the center of a valley floor. It forms when two glaciers meet and debris is carried to the top of the enlarged glacier

What do we call a large floating mass of ice detached from a glacier and carried out to sea.

What do we call a moving body of ice that forms from accumulation and compaction of snow

What do we call the process by which a block of a glacier breaks off and falls into the sea to form an iceberg

What is compacted, granular snow, that is harder than snow but not yet as hared as ice?

What do we call a glacier that moves out from a central point in all directions and covers most of a continent

Where on a glacier is the snow accumulation and melting (ice ablation) in balance?

Where on a mountain is the lowest topographic limit of year-round snow cover

What do we call the colder period of an ice age when glaciers grow and advance.

What do we call the warm period of an ice age lasting thousands of years with relatively warmer air temperatures and higher sea levels.

How do we keep track of the difference between the glacier's annual gain of snow and ice and its annual loss of snow and ice?

-if positive, the glacier grows/advances

-if negative, the glacier recedes
