Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Lateral and medial moraines are formed by the movement of alpine glaciers. Ice shelves are floating masses of ice, so they do not form moraines. Continental glaciers are too large to form distinct lateral and medial moraines, instead they tend to reshape the landscape as they move. Ice caps are similar to continental glaciers and also tend to reshape the landscape rather than forming lateral and medial moraines.
