- Moraine - Education | National Geographic Society
A moraine is material left behind by a moving glacier This material is usually soil and rock Just as rivers carry along all sorts of debris and silt that eventually builds up to form deltas , glaciers transport all sorts of dirt and boulders that build up to form moraines
- Glacial Landforms: What Is A Moraine? - WorldAtlas

- What Is a Glacial Moraine? - Definition and Types - thedailyECO
Glacial moraines are large deposits of debris which are left over from the movements of glaciers However, they are not simply waste byproducts created by glaciers When we observe the structure and form of glaciers, we can see they are divided into various parts
