Glacial Landforms Created by Erosion
Geography: KS3, topic 10.1.6
Glaciers
Ribbon lakes are very thin and long lakes that are formed in the hollows in glacial troughs when glaciers retreat.
Corrie
Corries are steep hollows with a lip at the bottom. Corries are shaped like armchairs. These are formed by a rotational slip of small glaciers.
