| Question |
How is a corrie formed in a series of easy to understand and remember bullet points?
|
| Answer |
- snow collects in hollows high in the mountains
- snow compacts to form ice
- weight of ice causes it to move, helped by melting water underneath
- ice has a rotational movement towards lip of hollow
- plucking and abrasion by the ice deepens the hollow
- steep back wall is also produced
- after the ice has melted, a corrie loch may form
