moraine

1 Many of these new lakes are held back by glacial moraines, which are essentially mounds of compressed sediment.

2 Now, he was on that titular mountain with his fiancée: walking a precarious bridge, crossing jagged moraines and traversing rocky terrain on a nine-day trek to the Everest base camp.

3 “It’s a glacial moraine, an alpine pass. The Lower Saddle hangs between the Middle Teton and the Grand.”

4 It sits on the remains of a glacial moraine: a pile of rocks and debris left behind by a retreating glacier at the end of the last ice age.

5 When moraine collapses, glacial lake water can course downslope in an outburst flood.

6 “Unsolaced,” her latest book, opens “in an off-grid cabin set on a glacial moraine” in the Wind River Mountains of Wyoming.

7 Some glacial lakes sit in bowl-shaped depressions bordered by glacial moraine, the often unstable rocky rubble left behind by a retreating glacier.

8 In all of New York City, “this is the only place you can see the moraine clearly,” Mr. Horenstein said, leaning into the wind.

9 Boats wouldn’t be able to navigate in certain areas, and the construction and operation of the project would disturb and move glacial moraine habitat and boulders.

10 Like Long Island, these are remnants of the rubble pile, or terminal moraine, pushed up by the ice sheet.

11 We hiked to the top of the moraine and had a better view of the lake.

12 The small island, measuring roughly 30 metres across and a peak of about three metres, consists of seabed mud as well as moraine - soil and rock left behind by moving glaciers.

13 Tonight we are back down at the foot of it in the moraine, the valley of stones.

14 Bowman began sprinting across the glacial moraine that covers the final paces to Cougar Rock Campground, where he had started the day at 4 a.m.

16 Not far off, out on the moraines, a quartet of mountain goats appeared, munching and then settling.

17 I am so happy to get the letter from you saying that I had been admitted to Moraine Valley Junior College.

18 A moraine dam at the lake collapsed in December 1941, and the flood it unleashed killed several thousand people in Huaraz.

19 Researchers collecting samples from areas such as this terminal moraine (debris dumped by a glacier at its furthest point, or terminus) in British Columbia may have inadvertently provided a clue to how the first human migrations to the Americas occurred.

20 Geologists already know where: Mountainous piles of debris, called terminal moraines, record the farthest thrust of an advancing glacier.
