Glacial movement, transportation and deposition

• Basal slip - When the meltwater acts a lubricant and helps It slide
• Rotational slip - When a glacier moves out of a corrie and down a hill
• ice deformation - gravity pulls the glacier downhill
• Till - when a glacier melts it is deposited
• Four types of moraine

  • Lateral moraine
  • Medial moraine
  • Ground moraine
  • Terminal moraine
