What are moraines composed of?
Moraines are a type of hill surrounding a kettle formed as glaciers melt and retreat. The kettle is formed by a very large chuck of ice that was left behind. The sand, gravel and rocks flowing with the water from the retreating glacier go around the ice chunk and form the moraines. There are places in Wisconsin called the Kettle Moraine Area where these can be seen. Often people remove the moraines for the sand and gravel that they can sell. This material is used in construction.
