Glacial Depositions and Moraines

The awesome force of a glacier or ice sheet can carve impressive valleys and can bulldoze wide swaths of continents. The rock and soil picked up and transported by glaciers creates new landscapes as it is eventually deposited by melting and retreating glaciers. These landscapes are known as glacial depositions and moraines. Check out my mini glossary of Glacier Deposition and Moraines for an overview.
