How are the four types of moraines different from each other?
The four types of moraines are lateral, medial, terminal, and ground moraines. Lateral moraines form along the sides of a glacier, medial moraines are formed when two glaciers merge and their lateral moraines combine, terminal moraines mark the furthest extent of a glacier's advance, and ground moraines are the debris left behind beneath a glacier as it retreats.
What are four kind of Moraines?
Lateral,ground,medial,terminal.
Where are ground moraines located?
Ground moraines are located at the base of the glacier.

Where are moraines found on a glacier?
Moraines are found along the edges, flanks, and in the middle of glaciers. They are formed from debris and rocks that have been transported and deposited by the glacier's movement. Lateral moraines form along the sides, medial moraines run down the center, and terminal moraines are found at the glacier's terminus.
Why are terminal moraines usually larger than lateral moraines?
Because terminal moraines were formed around an ice lobe during the period when the ice was at its maximum size.
What do dunes and moraines have in common?
Dunes and moraines are both landforms created by the movement of sediment by wind or ice. Dunes are formed in deserts or coastal areas by wind deposition, while moraines are formed by glaciers pushing and dropping sediment. Both landforms can vary in size and shape depending on the specific environmental conditions.
These moraines are ridges of rock debris formed along the sides of a moving glacier?
Terminal moraines or terminal
Is moraines famous?
some are.
What moraines are abrasive elements carried bottom of a frozen glacier?
Ground Moraines are abrasive elements that are carried in the bottom of a frozen glacier. Lateral Moraines are unsorted material deposited along the side of a valley glacier.
Why are moraines often fragmentary?
Moraines are often fragmentary because they are created by the accumulation of debris carried by a glacier. As the glacier moves and melts, it can deposit various sizes of rock fragments and till in a chaotic manner, leading to the fragmented appearance of the moraines. Additionally, the mixing and rearrangement of the debris by glacial processes can contribute to the irregular and broken nature of moraines.
Ice erodes rock and deposits sediments to form?
Glacial ice erosion will form: * Corries (cirques) * Aretes * Pyramidal Peaks * U-shaped troughs * Hanging Valleys * Truncated Spurs * Rouche Moutonees * Striations * Rock Steps Sediment deposition (resulting from glacial processes) will form: * Ice-transported boulders * Erratics * Lateral moraines * Medial moraines * Terminal moraines * Recessional moraines * Push moraines * Varves * Eskers * Delta kames * Kame terraces * Braided streams * Flat bottoms to U-shaped valleys
