Glaciers

Till deposited in the front of a glacier

• ground moraine
• lateral moraine
• terminal moraine
• medial moraine

This force causes the movement of glaciers

• pressure
• ice age
• gravity
• firn

When a glacier retreats and large, partially buried, ice chunks are left behind to melt, these are formed:

• Moraine
• Prairie pothole
• Kettle Lake
• Fjord

What glacial features are indicated by the labels C and D on the figure?

• moraines
• outwash plains
• kettle lakes
• ice sheets

glacial erosion causes ______ as it moves across the land?

• plucking and striations
• beaches and sand bars
• sea caves and headlands
• sand dunes and losses

Poorly graded (unsorted) rock material deposited directly by a glacier.

• glacial drift

• stratified drift

• till

• glacier

Glaciers often form V shaped valleys

• true
• false

Friction causes the sides of a valley glacier to move more slowly than the center

• true
• false

The deposit at the furthest point the glacier ever gets.

• moraine
• ground moraine
• recessional moraine
• terminal moraine

Glaciers only form near Earth’s poles.

• True
• False
