- Glacial Transport and Deposition
- transportation: the movement over a very large distance
- bulldozing: when ice pushes loose material that is in front of it
- deposition: ice melts, dropping the material on the ground
- rocks of all shape and sizes are mixed together
- lateral moraine: at the side of the glacier
- medial moraine: the center, where two glaciers met
- terminal moraine: snout of glacier. semi-circular mounds.
- drumlins: 1000m long, 500m wide and 50m high. blunt and steep- upstream. pointed and gently sloping- downstream.
- ground moraine: thin layer of material.
