Kames. Many are found in areas of kettles and moraines.

∙ 14y agoThe process of glacier growth and establishment is called glaciation. Some rock formations in the path of a glacier are sculpted into small hills with a shape known as roche moutonnée or sheepback rock.
Depositional landforms caused by glaciation include kames, eskers, outwash fans, and moraines. Streams that develop on the surface of a glacier would rapidly cut into the ice, so it is doubtful that deposits would remain on the surface for long. The deposits are most likely left at the front of a moving or receding glacier or form as water moves through a glacier.

What is the rapid movement of a glacier called?
Sudden, rapid movements in glaciers are called glacier surges. Narrow, fast moving sections of an ice sheet are called ice streams.
What do you call a large crack in a glacier?
A crevasse is a large crack in a glacier.
What are the primary diamond deposits called that are mined on earths surface?
they are called kimberlites and lamprolites.
Ridge left by a glacier?
The ridge formed from till deposits at the edge of a glacier is called a moraine. It may be formed from glacial flours or from large boulders.

What are mineral deposits beneath earths surface that are different from the surrounding rocks are called what?
These are called veins
What are large streams of surface sea water called?
IT'S called ocean currents or just called currents.
Ridge consisting of unsorted sediments deposited at the sides of a glacier?
Such ridges are referred to as lateral moraines. As a glacier moves, it shears debris, such as rock and soil, on both sides, and this unsorted sediment forms ridges along the edges of the glacier.
