~WILL MEDAL AND FAN~ What is the crescent-shaped ridge of debris left at the front of a retreating glacier called? A. drumlin B. terminal moraine C. basin D. lateral moraine
@imqwerty
I see people!! Help has come!!! xDDD
yes one sec
Okay! :)
hello
hello to you.
I think its terminal morain
A ridge left by a glacier is called a moraine, so it's either B or D. ;)
are you sure this is history
Okay. I had thought it was D.
B i think
OH shoot am I in the history section?
its fine it happens to all of us
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.
there is none in the geography secton anyways
Which one do you think is the answer?
I honestly think that it is D.
But this stuff is so confusing so I could be totally wrong
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
Soooo D would be correct?
Yes, Sir! :)
