5. Mt. Rainier, Washington: the west side glaciers. Should these glaciers all melt away, they will leave behind the characteristic features of a glaciated landscape. Identify several likely cirques (at least 3) and label them C. Contour lines on glaciers provide the same information on changes in slope steepness as they do for landforms. Locate Sunset Amphitheater and the glaciers flowing westward out of it. Identify lengths along these glaciers where sudden steepening of slope might cause increases in glacial flow velocity, tensional stresses, and therefore crevassing; label these IF, for icefall.
