Glacial Landscapes in the UK: Landforms Caused by Transportation & Deposition 🏔️ GCSE Geography Learning & Revision
Description
In this episode, we look at glacial landforms caused by transportation and deposition.
Glacial activity results in the formation of various landforms through the deposition of till, known as moraines.
These moraines are categorised by their location relative to the glacier, including lateral moraines along the edges, medial moraines where glaciers meet, ground moraines beneath the ice, and terminal moraines at the glacier's furthest advance.
Beyond moraines, glaciers also deposit material as drumlins, which are elongated hills, and erratics, which are misplaced rocks carried by the ice.
Therefore, these sources explain the different types of deposits left behind after glaciers melt and recede.
