Geography Glaciation trip - Easdale Tarn - Year 12 - 27th Apr

Cracking day with a great group of year 12's studying Glaciation up the Easdale valley with Mrs Richards!


Looking at a classic example of a Roche Moutonee with striations on the slanting uphill side and plucking on the steep downhill side.
It is not an Erratic or a Drumlin, why?


Sour Milk Ghyll - a Rock Step formed by Extending and Compressing flow, Crevasses and Seracs


Talking about the formation of Easdale tarn or Corrie with its N , NE facing back wall.
Key words - rotational flow, accumulation, abrasion, plucking, nivation and frost shattering!






Looking back up Easdale - Truncated spur to the right!

Well done guys for working hard - especially the swimmers!
