Glaciation Lesson 4
1. Key idea: distinctive land forms result from different processes Landforms resulting from erosion – characteristics and formation of corries, arêtes, pyramidal peaks, truncated spurs, glacial troughs and hanging valleys. Landforms resulting from transportation and deposition – drumlins, lateral, medial, ground and terminal moraine.
2. Glacial Erosion – Swiss Alpine Glacier Corrie where snow accumulation takes place. Glacier flows downhill from corrie.
