What is a glacial terminal moriane?
its when till is left behind when a glacier retreats
When boulders sand clay and silt that drop from a glacier when it retreats are called?
A moraine drumlins
When a glacier stops moving forward what may deposited in front of it?
A mass of rocks and sediment is left as the glacier retreats, forming what is known as moraine.
What is the ridge at the end of the glacier?
The ridge at the end of a glacier is called a terminal moraine. It forms when debris and sediment that were carried by the glacier accumulate and are deposited at the glacier's snout as it melts and retreats. Terminal moraines can help mark the furthest extent of a glacier's advance.
What does a terminal moraine mark?
A terminal moraine marks the furthest extent of a glacier's advance. It is a ridge of unsorted glacial debris that accumulates at the terminus of the glacier as it melts and retreats.
The boulders sand clay and silt that drop from a glacier when it retreats are called what?
The material left behind by a retreating glacier, including boulders, sand, clay, and silt, is known as moraine.
Is a moraine constructive erosion?
A moraine is a landform created by glacial deposition, not erosion. As a glacier moves, it picks up rocks and debris which are deposited as the glacier retreats, forming moraines.
What is a geological snout?
A geological snout is an erosional feature found at the downstream end of a glacier where the glacier ends abruptly, leaving a steep front or cliff-like edge. It often forms as the glacier melts and retreats, leaving behind a distinct landform.
What is a low ridge of rocks sand and soil left by a glacier?
A moraine is a low ridge of rocks, sand, and soil that is deposited by a glacier as it advances and retreats. It can be found at the edges or terminus of a glacier, marking the furthest extent of the glacier's advance.
What happens if the glacier stops for a while then retreats?
If a glacier stops advancing for a while, it may indicate a temporary balance between accumulation and melting. During this pause, processes like melting, sublimation, and calving can result in the loss of mass. When the glacier eventually retreats, it typically exposes the underlying landscape, potentially leading to changes in local ecosystems and hydrology. Additionally, the retreat can contribute to rising sea levels if the glacier is part of a larger ice sheet.
What are terminal moraine?
Terminal moraines are ridges of glacial debris deposited at the furthest point reached by a glacier. They mark the end of a glacier's advance and can be seen as a line of debris and rocks left behind as the glacier melts and retreats. These moraines are called "terminal" because they are found at the glacier’s terminus.
What is Recessional Moraine?
A recessional moraine is where deposits are dropped from a glacier where there has been interrupted retreat. This means it must remain still, long enough for material to build. It is often parallel to terminal moraine.
