Study Notes
Glaciers and Corries
- As glaciers flow, they create hollows, known as corries, where snow builds up year after year.
Corrie Formation
- Abrasion, caused by rocks and other materials carried by the sea, deepens and steepens the walls of the corrie.
Glacier Flow
- When a glacier is large enough, it flows over the edge and down the mountain.
Revealing Corries
- When glaciers melt, corries are sometimes revealed, often with lakes, known as tarns, inside them.
Corrie Landforms
- When two corries form side by side, the glacier erodes the rocks between them, creating a sharp ridge of rocks, known as an arete.
Pyramidal Peaks
- If 3-4 corries cut back into the mountain top, they can form a pyramidal peak.
