Moraine is the term used for the unsorted rock and material deposited by the melting and retreat of a glacier. So moraines are mainly rocky areas that used to be covered by a glacier.
Moraine is the accumulation of debris, boulders, stones, etc. carried and deposited by a glacier.
when glaciers shrink or melt they leave behind a ridge of rocks called moraine.
it is formed by the bulldozing affect!
Moraines are made up of clasts ranging from very fine (clay) up to very large (boulders) and the intermediate clast sizes (silt, sand, gravel and cobbles)
Ground moraines are located at the base of the glacier.
Moraines are the deposited remains that are left when a glacier melts and retreats. Therefore, erosion must have first taken place further up the glacier, and the debris carried down to be left at the melting point as stoney mounds.
Glacials
these are as follows: till moraines out wash and till plains
Moraines are made up of clasts ranging from very fine (clay) up to very large (boulders) and the intermediate clast sizes (silt, sand, gravel and cobbles)
Moraines are glacial deposition features. They are made up of ground up rock flour, pebbles and boulders deposited by glaciers.
ground moraines
Ground moraines are located at the base of the glacier.
Ground moraines are located at the base of the glacier.
these moraines are abrasive elements carried in the bottom of a frozen glaicer aplus ground moraines
Cape Cod is made up of glacial moraines and outwash left from the retreat of the Laurentide Ice Sheet during the last ice age.
Terminal moraines or terminal
Because terminal moraines were formed around an ice lobe during the period when the ice was at its maximum size.
Moraines may be fragmentary due to the sediment being deposited by the glacier
ground moraines
some are.
