Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The terminal moraine is the ridge of material that collects at the farthest advance of the glacier. Lateral moraines are the ridges of material that collect along the sides of the glacier, and recessional moraines are created when the glacier temporarily stops its retreat and deposits material before continuing to retreat. Eskers are long, winding ridges of sand and gravel that were deposited by streams flowing beneath a glacier. Since none of the other options match the description of the ridge formed at the farthest advance of a glacier, C is the correct answer.
