  2. Moraine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moraine

    A medial moraine is a ridge of moraine that runs down the center of a valley floor. It forms when two glaciers meet and the debris on the edges of the adjacent valley sides join and are carried on top of the enlarged glacier. As the glacier melts or retreats, the debris is deposited and a ridge down the middle of the valley floor is created.

  3. Floral morphology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floral_morphology

    Diagram of flower parts. In botany, floral morphology is the study of the diversity of forms and structures presented by the flower, which, by definition, is a branch of limited growth that bears the modified leaves responsible for reproduction and protection of the gametes, called floral pieces.

  4. Fluvioglacial landform - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluvioglacial_landform

    A recessional moraine is a ridge of deposited debris that occurs when the glacier is stationary for an extended length of time. [27] This occurs when a glacier meaning the glacier is in equilibrium or has halted during retreat . The occurrence of end moraines can be useful for determining a pattern of advance, retreat, and equilibrium of a ...

    PPhysiography of the Valparaiso Moraine. Valparaiso Moraine at Mink Lake, north of Valparaiso, Indiana. The Valparaiso Moraine is a recessional moraine (a landform left by receding glaciers) that forms an immense U around the southern Lake Michigan basin in North America. It is a band of hilly terrain composed of glacial till and sand.

  6. Plant physiology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_physiology

    A germination rate experiment. Plant physiology is a subdiscipline of botany concerned with the functioning, or physiology, of plants. [1]Plant physiologists study fundamental processes of plants, such as photosynthesis, respiration, plant nutrition, plant hormone functions, tropisms, nastic movements, photoperiodism, photomorphogenesis, circadian rhythms, environmental stress physiology, seed ...

  7. Terminal moraine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terminal_moraine

    A terminal moraine, also called an end moraine, is a type of moraine that forms at the terminal (edge) of a glacier, marking its maximum advance. At this point, debris that has accumulated by plucking and abrasion, has been pushed by the front edge of the ice, is driven no further and instead is deposited in an unsorted pile of sediment.

  8. Ronkonkoma Moraine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ronkonkoma_Moraine

    The Ronkonkoma Moraine, a terminal moraine, predates the Harbor Hill Moraine (which reached Long Island during the Wisconsin Glacial Episode); the Harbor Hill Moraine cut through the Ronkonkoma Moraine's western portions. [2] The Ronkonkoma Moraine and the Harbor Hill Moraine intersect at Lake Success in western Nassau County. [2]

    Cyme – is a cluster of flowers where the end of each growing point produces a flower. New growth comes from side shoots, and the oldest and first flowers to bloom are at the top. Single – one flower per stem, or flowers greatly spread apart so as to appear to not arise from the same branch.
