The snow-free debris hills around the lagoon are lateral and terminal moraines of a valley glacier in Manang, Nepal.. A moraine is any accumulation of unconsolidated debris (regolith and rock), sometimes referred to as glacial till, that occurs in both currently and formerly glaciated regions, and that has been previously carried along by a glacier or ice sheet.
Terminal moraine of Wordie Glacier, Greenland Map of the Salpausselkä terminal moraines in Southern Finland. 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 ...
Moraine: Built up mound of glacial till along a spot on the glacier. Feature can be terminal (at the end of a glacier, showing how far the glacier extended), lateral (along the sides of a glacier), or medial (formed by the merger of lateral moraines from contributory glaciers). Types: Pulju, Rogen, Sevetti, terminal, Veiki

Moraines south of Lake Michigan and southwest of Lake Erie. A composite of three maps (Leverett 1915) (Leverett 1902) (Larsen 1986) and other sources. Colors represent moraines from the same time period of the Wisconsin Glacial epoch. The Marseilles moraine is a terminal moraine that encircles the southern tip of Lake Michigan in North
East of the lake, the two moraines may be seen, but west of Lake Success the Harbor Hill moraine overrode and effaced the Ronkonkoma moraine. [4] South of the moraines is a broad outwash plain sloping towards the Atlantic Ocean , much of which has been submerged as ocean levels rose in the post-glacial period.
The moraine was created when the Green Bay Lobe of the Laurentide Ice Sheet, on the west, collided with the Lake Michigan Lobe of that glacier, on the east, depositing sediment. The western lobe formed Green Bay, Lake Winnebago and the Horicon Marsh. The major part of the Kettle Moraine area is considered interlobate moraine, though other types ...
To the east in Finnish Lapland, a moraine type similar to Veiki moraine but smaller is known as a Pulju moraine since 1967. [ 5 ] The disposition of the Veiki moraines reflects the last glacier movements before an ice sheet retreats, [ 4 ] [ 3 ] and their final form is given by the melting of dead ice and the development and sedimentation of ...
