Answer:-Lateral and medial moraines consist of glacially-transported rock and debris. They form on the sides of glaciers (lateral moraines) or at the boundary between two tributary glaciers (medial moraines). Either way, they often mark the edges of an ice body.
It forms at the very end of a glacier, telling scientists today important information about the glacier and how it moved. At a terminal moraine, all the debris that was scooped up and pushed to the front of the glacier is deposited as a large clump of rocks, soil, and sediment.
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. Moraine has one of the most chaotic characters of any deposit, made up of totally unsorted rocks with no sorting whatsoever--just dropped when the ice melts. Terrains with moraine are hard for man to use, because there are rocks of all sizes everywhere. The deposition of ground moraines tends to fill in low areas producing a leveling effect. This leveling effect often clogs existing drainage areas leading to an alteration of drainage patterns. In areas where ground moraines are still relatively fresh, this can lead to the creation of swampy, poorly-drained topography.
