When does a recessional moraine form?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: When a glacier front pauses temporarily and deposits debris
A recessional moraine forms at the margin of a retreating glacier when the ice front remains stationary long enough for transported till and other debris to accumulate into a ridge. When retreat resumes, the ridge marks a former pause in the glacier’s withdrawal. Option A is correct. Sea caves, wind erosion, and karst-stream deltas are unrelated coastal, aeolian, and limestone-environment processes.
