Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A moraine is a depositional feature formed when a glacier melts. It consists of rocks, debris, and sediment that the glacier has picked up and carried along, deposited in a ridge-like feature as the glacier retreats. A cirque is a bowl-shaped depression formed at the head of a glacier, a tarn is a small lake or pool formed in a cirque, and a col is a low point or saddle between two higher points. None of these are specifically formed by the melting of a glacier.
