The moraine that piles up beside a glacier is called a lateral moraine. It forms along the sides of the glacier as it moves and carries debris and sediment that is picked up along its path.
The best known is cape cod in Massachusetts.
A lateral moraine is a ridge of debris that forms along the sides of a glacier as it flows and erodes the surrounding landscape. It is created from the material that falls onto the glacier's surface from the valley walls.
The glacial feature that causes piles of rocks is known as a "moraine." Moraines are formed from the debris (such as rocks and sediment) that glaciers transport and deposit as they move and melt. There are different types of moraines, including terminal moraines, which mark the furthest advance of a glacier, and lateral moraines, which form along the sides of a glacier. These piles of rocks can create distinct landforms in glaciated regions.
The rock is called a glacial erratic when it is left behind by a glacier, and is of a completely different material composition than the rocks on which it was deposited.
Because it had piles of energy
yes her piles are called graham and rodger
Two interesting land forms that were formed by glaciers are called kettles and moraines. The kettles are sometimes very large and form large lakes. The moraines are hills that are found surrounding the kettles. Most are made of sand, gravel and small rocks, although they can have some rather large boulders in them.
moraine, or perhaps more specifically a Drumlin, which sometimes form an egg-shaped landscape. A snow avalanche from a hillside can carry with it entrained rocks, which when the snow melts form a small hillock at the foot of the hill, but conspicuously made of moraine rocks and debris.
These are called Haemorrhoids or they are often referred to as 'piles'
