When two lateral moraines join it causes unconsolidated derbies on valley walls and the streams through the valley. This will carry on until the glacier melts.

How are the four types of moraines different from each other?

The four types of moraines are lateral, medial, terminal, and ground moraines. Lateral moraines form along the sides of a glacier, medial moraines are formed when two glaciers merge and their lateral moraines combine, terminal moraines mark the furthest extent of a glacier's advance, and ground moraines are the debris left behind beneath a glacier as it retreats.


What are four moraines?

Lateral moraine: Forms along the sides of a glacier as it moves, consisting of rock and debris that has eroded from the valley walls. Medial moraine: A ridge of sediment that forms when two glaciers merge and the lateral moraines from each side join together. Terminal moraine: A moraine that marks the furthest advance of a glacier and is typically found at the snout or end of the glacier. Ground moraine: Deposits of till left behind by a glacier as it retreats, forming a relatively flat and often fertile landscape.

What is the term for glacier sediment?

The rock and soil debris accompanying the glacier is moraine. lateral moraine at the sides where avalanches have dropped it, terminal moraine where the glacier finishes, and medial moraine formed from the lateral moraines of two contributory glaciers when they join.

When two or more join together a polymer forms a molecule.


What is a Medial moraine?

Moraine are the rock and soil debris deposited on the surface of a glacier by avalanches and landslips. Those at the edges (the first formed) are Lateral moraine. Those at the terminus of the glacier are Terminal moraine. Where two glaciers join, then their lateral moraines join to become a Medial moraine, i.e. 'middle'. The moraine overburden lodged towards the head of a glacier, tends to slip down the schrunds and is a major erosive component in the abrasive action. Where the glacier travels over a step in its bed, an ice-fall is created, marked by a crevasse jumble, and into this much other moraine is embedded into the traveling glacier. It is remarkable to realize that most of the cross-section of the U-shaped of a glacier's valley has been removed by abrasion - converted into rock flour.


Describe the various types of glacial moraines?

there is glacial drift and that is the act of rock material carried and deposited by glaciers. there is till which is the act of unsorted rock material that is deposited directly by a melting glacier and there is stratified drift which is the result of a glacial deposit that has been sorted and layered by action of streams or meltwater

What is the seam called that forms when two microcontinents join together?

The seam that forms when two microcontinents join together is called a suture zone. It is a tectonic boundary where two continents have collided and their respective edges have fused together.
