Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A lateral moraine forms along the sides of a glacier as sediment is transported and deposited along the edges. Terminal moraines form at the end or terminus of a glacier, medial moraines run down the center of a glacier where two flow paths meet and ground moraines are formed underneath the glacier as it scrapes and erodes the underlying material. Recessional moraines are formed during a temporary halt in the glacier's retreat.
