Under which condition does a medial moraine form?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: When two glaciers meet and their lateral debris joins in the middle
A medial moraine is a dark or debris-covered stripe running along the surface of a glacier. It forms when two tributary glaciers merge: the lateral moraine on the inner side of each glacier is brought together and carried down the centre of the combined ice stream. Therefore option D is correct. River mouths, collapsing sea arches, and changing wind direction do not create medial moraines.
