hello to you.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A ridge left by a glacier is called a moraine, so it's either B or D. ;)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay. I had thought it was D.

OpenStudy (mazmaz1):

A. Drumlin An elongated ridge of glacial sediment sculpted by ice moving over the bed of a glacier. Generally, the down-glacier end is oval or rounded and the up-glacier end tapers. The shape is often compared to an inverted, blunt-ended canoe. Although not common in Alaska, drumlins cover parts of the Eastern and Midwestern United States (Irish). B. Terminus The lower-most margin, end, or extremity of a glacier. Also called Toe, End or Snout.

OpenStudy (mazmaz1):

there is none in the geography secton anyways

jabez177 (jabez177):

Which one do you think is the answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I honestly think that it is D.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But this stuff is so confusing so I could be totally wrong

jabez177 (jabez177):

D. Lateral moraines are a product of rock fall onto the margin of a glacier. Rock fall is a result of frost weathering of the rock wall and of over-steepening of the cliff by glacial erosion, leading to rock slope failure. The rock debris is carried along the glacier edge as it moves towards the snout. Lateral moraine www.landforms.eu/cairngorms/moraine%20lateral.htm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Soooo D would be correct?

jabez177 (jabez177):
