What is a crevasse at the head of a mountain glacier called?
A crevasse at the head of a mountain glacier is called a "bergschrund." This feature typically forms where the glacier begins to separate from the surrounding terrain, often due to differential movement between the glacier and the mountain slope. Bergschrunds can be quite deep and wide, posing challenges for climbers and hikers navigating the glacier.
Three different types of crevasses?
Bergschrund: A crevasse that forms at the top of a glacier where it separates from the rock or ice below. Transverse crevasse: Formed perpendicular to the flow of the glacier, typically due to the glacier bending or encountering obstructions. Marginal crevasse: Found at the edges or margins of a glacier and are often caused by variations in stress and strain as the glacier moves.

What are the erosional features you might expect to see in an area where valley glaciers exist or have existed?
Erosional features in areas with valley glaciers include U-shaped valleys, cirques (bowl-shaped hollows at the head of glaciers), arêtes (sharp ridge between cirques), and hanging valleys (smaller valleys that join a main glacier valley). Glacial striations (scratches on bedrock caused by moving glacier ice) and moraines (piles of debris deposited by glaciers) are also common erosional features.
