| Description: | Loch Morie, looking south-east, Ross & Cromarty. Cutting off of spurs and oversteepening by passage of ice, as shown in the scarp face in the distance. Foreground - delta of stream entering loch. Valley cut in metamorphosed sandstones and mudstones of the Moine Supergroup. During glaciation, the valley was deepened by a valley glacier, and the spurs of the hills were truncated and oversteepened. After the ice melted, a lake was formed by a barrier of rock or moraine in the valley. This lake is being filled up, as shown by the delta in the foreground. |
