Question

Hurrrryyyy!!!!! Need this answer is quick. Describe what a moraine is made of and explain how this glacial feature forms.

Answer 1

It's made of glacial debris, i.e, rocks and regolith.

Step-by-step explanation:

Moraines are formed from this debris mentioned before that it's carried by a glacier. But its formation is not that simple, all you need to know is that a moraine is formed on a glacier, by its particules in self.

In formation processes, we could divided in two parts: passive and active.

• Passive processes: It's when is formed on the surface without a directly formation by ice movement, in this process can be formed hummocky moraines, this types of moraines has cross-stratification in its structure.

• Active processes: It's when a moraine is formed directly by the movement of ice, that process is called glaciotectonism.

Answer 2

moraine is material on the surface of a glacier. Lateral and medialmoraines can be supraglacial moraines. Supraglacial moraines are made up of rocks and earth that have fallen on the glacier from the surrounding landscape.
