Moraines are deposits of rock gravel and dirt that have been leftt behind by what kind of natural feature?
Moraines are deposits of rock, gravel, and dirt that have been left behind by glaciers as they advance and retreat. Glaciers pick up rocks and other debris as they move, and when they melt or retreat, this material is deposited as moraines.
What formation is small hill like mound formed from the deposits as the glacier recedes?
drumlin
Small hills that are formed from deposits left by streams on the surface of a glacier are called what?
Kames. Many are found in areas of kettles and moraines.
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 flat deposits of rocks called?
Flat deposits of rocks are called sedimentary layers or strata. These layers are formed over time through the accumulation and compaction of sediments.

What are depressions left by melted blocks of ice in glacial deposits called?
The depressions left behind are called kettles. The raised areas are called moraines.

When deposits of till build up What is left behind?
When deposits of till build up, they can leave behind various landforms such as moraines, drumlins, eskers, and outwash plains. These features are created by the movement of glaciers and the deposition of sediments as the glacier retreats.
What do you call a deposit of clay sandand gravel left behind by a glacier?
Apron: Defined as an area covered by sand and gravel deposited at the front of a glacial moraine Outwash material/sandur. Or if into water a varve.
What are unsorted deposits?
Unsorted deposits refer to sedimentary deposits that have not been sorted or arranged by size or weight. This means that the particles or materials within the deposit have not undergone any sorting process based on their characteristics, such as size, shape, or density. Examples of unsorted deposits include moraines left by glaciers or alluvial fan deposits.
What are some deposits of alpine glaciers?
Some deposits of alpine glaciers include moraines (such as lateral, medial, and terminal moraines), drumlins, eskers, and outwash plains. These deposits are created as the glacier erodes, transports, and deposits sediment during its movement.
How moraines form?
Moraines form when a glacier moves down a mountain until it reaches temperatures warm enough to melt. As the ice melts, it deposits sediment. This sediment form ridges called moraines. Sources: My earth science book.
What is the term for all sediments of glacial origin?
Glacial deposits or glacial drift refer to all sediments of glacial origin. These deposits include materials such as till, moraines, outwash plains, and glacial erratics that are left behind by the movement of glaciers.
Small hills that are formed from deposits left by streams on the surface of a glacier are called what?
Kames. Many are found in areas of kettles and moraines.
