Question

In the map of 5 cirques North East of Dana Plateau.

1. Kidney Lake is a 'Tarn', which means Cirque Lake

2. Gibbs Lake is not a 'Tarn'; it sits outside the ciruqe.

3. Kidney Lake -> Glacier flowed East.

4. Walker Lake: it sits in between two lateral moraines. Bloody Canyon- U - Shaped Canyon -> 2 morains's size are the bloody canyon moraine.

5. Road Going up Sawmill Canyon. There are also 2 more moraines but not as large as the bloody canyon moraines.

I hope you check the information I found are correct in the regard of glacial erosion and deposition.

Explanation / Answer

1) Kidney Lake is a 'Tarn'. It is correct because a tarn is a small lake in an area of mountains.

2) Gibbs Lake is not a 'Tarn' because a tarn is a small lake in an area of mountains & Gibbs lake is not in mountains.

3) Kidney Lake -> Glacier flowed East. Correct because Kidney Lake is formed due to the flow of glaciers in the Eastward direction that is towards the slope or slope movement.

4) Walker Lake: it sits in between two lateral moraines. Bloody Canyon- U - Shaped Canyon -> 2 morains's size are the bloody canyon moraine. Correct because the lake is present between the parallel contour lines that means lateral moraines are parallel ridges of debris deposited along the sides of a glacier. The unconsolidated debris can be deposited on top of the glacier by frost shattering of the valley walls and/or from tributary streams flowing into the valley.

5) Sawmill Canyon of around 1km and Bohler Canyon of around 2.5km are smaller than that of Bloody Canyon because it is around 5 km long.
