    Cards (5)

    • how are drumlins formed
      1. menzies- glacier gets overloaded and deposits sediment
      2. shaw- glacier deposits sediment due to melting
    • how are medial moraines formed
      when two tributary glaciers meet and debris builds up between the two glaciers
    • How are terminal moraines formed
      when a glacier reaches its maximum extent it drops debris
    • how are recessional moraines formed
      behind a terminal moraine is where the glacier advances/retreats and pauses for a period of time dropping debris
    • how are lateral moraines formed
      when debris from the valley wall falls down the side of a glacier and when the glacier melts the debris is left
