Question

A deposit of sediment that marks the farthest forward advance of a glacier is called a


medial moraine.

terminal moraine.

lateral moraine.

glacial till.

Answer 1

Answer:

B.

Explanation:

Supraglacial (on top of the ice)

englacial (within the ice)

sediments that slide off the melting front of a stationary glacier can form a ridge of unsorted sediments called an end moraine.

The end moraine that represents the farthest advance of the glacier is a terminal moraine.

Sediments transported and deposited by glacial ice are known as till.

Answer 2

A deposit of sediment that marks the farthest forward advance of a glacier is called a terminal moraine.

What is terminal moraine?

The terminal moraine is the furthest point of disturbed sediment, which is formed into a long mound outlining the front edge of the glacier.

• Terminal moraines form when the ice melts and deposits all the moraine it was transporting at the front of the glacier.
• Glaciers can transport huge amounts of material including rocks, stones, and smaller particles.

• Moraines are accumulations of dirt and rocks that have fallen onto the glacier's surface or have been pushed along by the glacier as it moves.
• The dirt and rocks composing moraines can range in size from powdery silt to large rocks and boulders.
