The hinges of folded debris layers crop out on the glacier surface as flow-parallel medial moraines, with axes dipping gently up-glacier. |
Wetlands may overlie important groundwater aquifers, especially on moraines, eskers, and fluvioglacial deposits. |
We have identified seven such lateral moraines that were overridden by the expansion and growth of the Fennoscandian ice sheet. |
They also abrade rock and debris from their substrate to create landforms such as cirques and moraines. |
In bouldery moraines up as high as thirteen thousand feet, one finds the pika, or cony. |
There are the same moraines, striated rocks, and bowlders that have evidently traveled from their home up the valley. |
