Примери за cirque

• From the col there is a wonderful view back down over the ski village in its cirque.

• The trail suddenly levels out and for the next hour you contour the side of the right-hand valley to the cirque at its head.

• The map showed the glacier tucked into a gigantic spoon-shaped cirque on the north-facing side of the mountain.

• At the head of the gulch is a tight cirque facing east, north and west and rimmed with rock slabs pitched at 45 degrees.

• Typical habitats include woodland, the banks of streams and ditches; it can even be found at high altitude in damp cirques.

• Cols are saddle-shaped depressions in the ridge between cirques.

• If two adjacent cirques erode toward one another, an arte, or steep sided ridge, forms.

• They were named this because there is often fog rising from the cirques.

• The summit is now the high point along the curving ridge which bounds the southern edge of the cirques above steep cliffs.

• As cirques are formed by glaciation in an alpine environment, the headwall and ridges between parallel glaciers called artes become more steep and defined.

• Cirques moraines, tarn lakes, roche moutonnes and other glacial features can all be seen in the area.

• The east face of the feature is indented by twin cirques that resemble eyes.

• The body of this batholith has been deeply cut by glacial cirques and canyons.

• As the snowline continues to rise, new cirques would continue to form the steps of the cyclopean stairs.

• The method of erosion of the headwall lying between the surface of the glacier and the cirques floor has been attributed to freeze-thaw mechanisms.

• When three or more cirques erode toward one another, a pyramidal peak is created.

• All bodies of ice located in these cirques are separated by artes.

• Many glacial cirques contain tarns dammed by either till (debris) or a bedrock threshold.

• They also abrade rock and debris from their substrate to create landforms such as cirques and moraines.
