What is a moraine made of and how those it get somewhere?
Moraine is the accumulation of rock and detritus on the surface of the glacier. When the glacier retreats or melts, this material is left behind, and may be recognized by its 'unsorted' nature, and the high proportion of clay particles. It may also have large boulders, which are rounded at the corners only.
What is material that moves in one large mass?
Glacier
What is glacial load?
