| Definitionskos:definition | A bedrock landform is streamlined by subglacial that erosion in the direction of ice flow. The landform is often asymmetrical in long profile, with a smooth up ice end produced by ice abrasion and a rougher down-ice termination produced by plucking associated with lee-side subglacial cavities. Whalebacks are also elongate streamlined bedrock landforms but are usually symmetrical in form (Excerpt from Bell et al. 2016, adapted from Bell et al. 1997. In: Dowdeswell et al., 2016). |
