What Landforms Are Created By Glacial Deposition

Question 1

Ground and terminal moraine

Answer 1

Material transported and deposited by glacier

Moraine is collected by the glacier using freeze-thaw weathering, plucking and abrasion

Ground moraine Is deposited below the glacier

Moraine is dropped where the glacier slows down

Terminal moraine Is dropped at the end of the Glacier

Question 2

Crag and tail

Answer 2

Crags form when a glacier meets a hard, resistant rocks such as granite or a volcanic plug

The glacier will pass over the hard rock but leave it standing, eroding the softer rock in front of it

On the Lee slope, material is deposited. This appears as a ramp going away from the crag in the direction of the ice movement

Question 3

Drumlins

Answer 3

Drumlins are elongated landforms which are formed of till

They can be a kilometre or more in length, 500 M and width and 50 M in height
