How can terminal and lateral moraines form glacial lakes?
A lateral moraine is formed at the side of a glacier. Falling ice can melt and form a lake. Similarly, a terminal moraine marks the farthest advance of a glacier where all the ice typically melts.
How can movement of glaciers cause lakes to form?
As glaciers move, they can carve out deep depressions in the land called cirques. When the glacier retreats or melts, these cirques can become filled with water, forming lakes. Glaciers can also create moraines, which are piles of debris that dam up valleys, creating lakes behind them.
