A moraine is the accumulation of solid material - rock, gravels, sand and clay, carried by a glacier, and deposited when the glacier shrank. The material is mainly from avalanches off surrounding mountains, which include rocky material as well as ice and snow.

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

these moraines are abrasive elements carried in the bottom of a frozen glaicer aplus ground moraines
These moraines are ridges of rock debris formed along the sides of a moving glacier?
Terminal moraines or terminal
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.
Why are moraines often fragmentary?
Moraines may be fragmentary due to the sediment being deposited by the glacier
Is moraines famous?
some are.
