What does SCREE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A mass of loose, broken rock fragments covering a steep mountain slope.
Scree accumulates over centuries as frost, rain and swings in temperature gradually shatter exposed stone high on a peak, and gravity then drags the shattered debris downhill until it settles into a long, shifting incline. Crossing a field of scree is notoriously awkward, since the small stones slide underfoot with every step, and hikers often descend such an incline quickly by half-sliding, half-running down it, a technique sometimes called scree running. The word comes from an Old Norse term for a landslide, reflecting how the whole incline can give way at once rather than staying fixed like solid ground. Climbers approach any scree-covered ground with caution, since a single dislodged stone near the top can send others tumbling onto people below.
How SCREE is used
A standard geographical and mountaineering term for loose rock debris on a slope; rarely used outside descriptions of mountains and hillsides.
