1
What type of moraines form in the middle of two glaciers joining together?
medial moraines
ground moraines
terminal moraines
lateral moraines
2
What type of moraines form at the furthest advancement of the glacier?
lateral moraines
terminal moraines
medial moraines
ground moraines
3
Terminal moraines are glacial features formed when:
lots of debris is deposited along sides of glacial valley
water flowing under glaciers deposit sand and gravel
sediment is deposited in front of an advancing glacier
blocks of ice buried in ground eventually melt
4
Kettles are glacial features formed when:
sediment is deposited in front of an advancing glacier
water flowing under glaciers deposit sand and gravel
lots of debris is deposited along sides of glacial valley
block of ice buried in ground eventually melt
5
The unstratified (all mixed together) sediment deposited by glaciers is called:
a drumlin
a kettle
soil
till
6
When rock fragments freeze to the bottom of a glacier and are carried away when glacier moves
plucking
abrasion
surging
valley widening
7
The steep-sided mound of till at point D is
a drumlin
an esker
a kame
a moraine
8

an arete
9
The elongated hill of till at point A in the diagram is:
an esker
a kame
a drumlin
a moraine
10
The flat plain at point F in the diagram is:
a kettle
an outwash plain
a kame
a drumlin
11
The ridge of till at point B is:
a kame
an esker
a drumlin
a moraine
12
The till deposited at the edge of a glacier forms a pile called a:
kettle
alluvial fan
cirque
moraine
13
Eskers are glacial features form when:
lots of debris is deposited along sides of glacial valley
sediment is deposited in front of advancing glacier
water flowing under glaciers deposit sand and gravel
blocks of ice buried in the ground eventually melts
14
What type of moraines form at the edge of a valley?
terminal moraines
medial moraines
ground moraines
lateral moraines
15
The process that breaks down rocks and other materials on Earth's surface is called:
soil conservation
erosion
weathering
decomposition
16

a kame
a moraine
an esker
a drumlin
17
The sharp ridge glacial feature at point B in the diagram is:
a horn
an arete
a u-shaped valley
a cirque
18
The bowl-shaped glacial feature at point D in the diagram is:
a u-shaped valley
an arete
a horn
a cirque
19
The hole at point E in the diagram is:
a drumlin
a kettle
a kame
an outwash plain
20
The sharp peak glacial feature at point C is:
an arete
a u-shaped valley
