How is a corrie formmed?

Corries are armchair-shaped hollows, which are found high up on the sides of hills. They are often formed on the shaded and therefore colder side of the hill. Here the snow does not melt as fast and there can be a build up of snow which is squashed and turned into ice. As the ice moves downhill it erodes the underlying rock, eventually producing a corrie. Often two or more corries are formed leaving a narrow ridge between them. This is called an arete. When a hill has been heavily eroded with 3 or 4 corries the jagged hill that is left is known as a horn or pyramidal peak.


Where are the drain holes on a 97 Chrysler Sebring convertible?

There are ten drain holes, five on each side of the car. They are in the ridge, on the bottom of the car, between the front and rear tires. It is the ridge that you would jack the car up on. They are very skinny, so to clean them, you could use a knife (butter knife) and then blow them out. They are in the inside of the ridge, so they are only visible looking outward. They are at an angle. The rear ones on each side could be pinched shut from jacking up the car.
