glaciers form when annual _______ in a region ________ the rate at which snow ___________.
glaciers form when annual snowfall in a region exceeds the rate at which snow melts.

what is basal sliding?
Basal sliding is when a glacier sliding due to meltwater under the ice acting as a lubricant.
500
what is this called?
Crevasse
500
Explain how a U-shaped Valley is formed
Snow compresses to ice and forms a glacier (1).
The glacier uses the process of plucking and abrasion to widen and deepen the valley (1)
The valley is also weathered above and below the glacier by frost shattering (freeze-thaw weathering) (1).
Interlocking spurs are cut-off by ice creating truncated spurs (1).
