Glacial Landforms: a 3D model for Class 11 Social Science, covering Snow that survives the summer packs down year after year into firn and then into glacier ice., A glacier is a slow river of ice; under its own weight it creeps downhill a few centimetres to a few metres a day., Rock frozen into the ice scrapes and plucks the valley, turning a V-shaped river valley into a wide U-shaped trough., At the glacier’s head a steep armchair hollow is carved: a cirque, which often holds a tarn lake once the ice is gone., Two cirques cutting back toward each other leave a knife-edge arête; three or more leave a pyramidal horn..
