What is a glacier formed lake?

A tarn (or corrie loch) is a mountain lake or pool, formed in a cirque excavated by a glacier.


How does a glacier form a corrie?

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.


What is an Corrie and how is it formed?

Corries or Cirques are bowl like hollows in a mountain range, formed by the action of a small glacier.


What is a round deep lake formed by a huge block of ice left by a glacier?

I think you mean a TARN - the lake left in the corrie or cwm beneath what had been the head of the glacier. !t's that "huge block ofice" phrase that puzzles me a bit.


Formation of a corrie?

A corrie forms when a glacier erodes a hollow, armchair-shaped basin in a cirque at the head of a valley. Snow accumulates in this basin, compacting into ice over time. The ice then flows outwards, carving the walls and floor of the corrie through processes of plucking and abrasion.


What is the bowl shaped depression where the valley glacier begins?

The Cirque is the name given to the bowl shaped depression were the valley glaciers usually begins. A glacier basically refers to a terminus that usually ends in a body of water.


What is a bowl-shaped depression at the head of a glacial valley called?

A bowl-shaped depression at the head of a glacial valley is called a cirque or a corrie. It is typically formed by the erosion of a glacier.


A deep and steep bowl like depression produced by glacier erosion?

A deep and steep bowl-like depression produced by glacier erosion is called a cirque. The word "cirque" is a French word for "arena". A cirque is also known as a corrie.

How does the glacier erode the land beneath it?

A glacier erodes by the following processes:Plucking: the physical plucking of rocks from the rock face beneath it by freezing around it, then moving forwards, pulling it with it.Abrasion: the scraping of a rock entrained within the glacier against the rock faceRemoval: rocks can be entrained within the glacier, at the sides, in the middle or at the bottom and are transported by the processes listed belowDo not confuse the following with erosion:Rotational slip: related to erosion closely. This is where the corrie glacier rotates round in the hollow, carving it out, but the actual erosion is done by the processes aboveGlacial movement: a glacier moves by four processes: rotational slip, basal slippage, internal deformation and due to gravity. This is not the physical erosion of the rock, but just the way in which the glacier moves.
