What does a terminal moraine indicate?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Maximum advance limit of a glacier
The governing concept is moraine formation at a glacier’s terminus. A terminal moraine is a ridge of till deposited at or near the glacier front when the ice pauses or retreats after reaching its farthest position. Its location therefore marks the maximum advance of that glacier during a particular phase. It does not measure wind, sea-wave direction, or a river bend, so option D is correct.
