A moraine is formed by what?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Deposition of debris carried by a glacier
A moraine is an accumulation of unsorted rock fragments, soil and other debris transported and deposited by a glacier. The material may collect at the glacier’s sides, centre, or end as the ice moves or melts. Thus option A correctly identifies glacial deposition. Evaporation, river-bend cutting and groundwater drops involve different processes and do not produce moraines.
