Corries begin as shallow hollows on a mountain side fill with snow. As the glacier gets bigger, it begins to move down the slope. There is a reduced rate of erosion at the front of the corrie as the ice is thinner here. This makes a moraine. When the ice melts, water may get trapped behind creating a corrie lake or tarn. All of this forms a corrie.
