A tarn (or corrie loch) is a mountain lake or pool, formed in a cirque excavated by a glacier.
i believe so...
a lake with water in it coz it melted
yes from the cintinental period a glacier swept acrost and made a hole and the glacier melted and formed the salt lakes
it was not glacier formed and is oriented east to west
A ' Tarn' is a mountain lake or pool formed in a cirque excavated by a glacier.
A proglacial lake is formed when glaciers melt, creating a body of water in front of the glacier. As the glacier retreats, it can leave behind depressions in the landscape that fill with meltwater. These lakes can also be dammed by moraines, which are accumulations of debris deposited by the glacier. The combination of glacial melt and the physical features left by the glacier leads to the formation of these lakes.
St. Mary's Lake (in Colorado) was formed when the water from St. Mary's glacier got clogged by debris.I'm not sure about St. Mary ('s) Lake (in Montana) was formed.
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.
West Lake Okiboji, Iowa To the south of that is Blackhawk Lake, Lake View, Iowa
A glacial cirque is formed when a glacier erodes the headwall of a valley through processes like plucking and abrasion. As the glacier moves downhill, it creates a bowl-shaped depression with steep walls. After the glacier retreats, the cirque may fill with water, forming a tarn or glacial lake.
Lake Windermere...its in the South-Lakeland region, and the largest lake in England. it is also described as a ribbon lake formed from a glacier, so has many outstandingly beautiful attractions (human and physical)
An alpine glacier is a glacier that FORMED on a mountain. It doesn't have to BE on a mountain, just formed on one.
