Generation

# Glacial Deposition **Glacial deposition** is the process by which sediment and rock material carried by a glacier is deposited (laid down) when the ice melts or the glacier's carrying capacity decreases. This occurs because glaciers lose energy and can no longer transport their load of debris. ## Worked Example **Question:** A glacier is retreating in a valley. As it melts, it deposits a large mound of unsorted sediment (clay, sand, pebbles, and boulders all mixed together) directly at its front edge. What landform has been created? **Answer:** - The landform is a **terminal moraine** (or end moraine) - This forms from **glacial deposition** at the glacier's furthest extent - The unsorted nature of the sediment (called till) is characteristic of direct glacial deposition - The moraine marks the maximum advance point of the glacier before it began retreating
