What does a terminal moraine deposited at the mouth of a glacial valley indicate?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Farthest limit reached by a glacier
A terminal moraine is a ridge of till deposited at the front, or snout, of a glacier. It marks the farthest position reached by the glacier during a particular advance before it began to retreat or remained stationary. It does not record wave strength, a former river meander or wind-blown dust, so option C correctly identifies the glacial limit.
