How are moraine and erratic alike?
Both of them have boulders that are deposited
What does the existence of erratic boulders suggest about an area?
erratic boulders means that a glacier passed over this area. The boulders may have been the side of a mountain or part of a cliff but the power of the glacier broke it down and off and then moved it. When the glacier receded, the boulders were left behind. They are often found in areas where there are no mountains or cliffs...they are geologically different from the bedrock. Geologists can often match erratic boulders up with their place of origin which may be many miles away. They range in size from stone size to house size.
Large boulders left as glacial deposits are called what?
Erratic blocks or "erratics" for short.
Where can erratic boulders be found?
On land or seafloor, where they were deposited by glaciers, far from their original source.
What are large deposits of boulders called?
The debris of boulders eroded and carried down by glaciers will eventually form moraines (mounds) where the front of the glacier melts and retreats, leaving the debris behind. Moraines can be high and wide enough to form a dam, behind which glacial melt water is trapped and lakes are formed.

What is an erratic boulder?
An erratic boulder is a boulder of rock which is of a different type than the local rocks. Erratic boulders are ofter more correctly termed glacial erractics as they were generally picked up, transported (often many hundreds of miles) and then finally deposited by melting glaciers.
How would an erratic boulder provide evidence of the flood?
Erratic boulders can provide evidence of a flood because of the distance that is measured from where they were originally placed. This could only be through a strong current of water as they are usually displaced and out of place.
