read Explanation: moraine crest formation shaped according to the direction of flow/movement. Other types of moraines. You will have to choose which one you need: ground moraine/terminal moraine/push moraine/ recessional moraine/lateral moraine /medial moraine /interlobate moraine/ Apparently there are several types of moraines. Without much context, I'm giving you what I found. MORRENA TERMINAL. TERMINAL MORRAINE. Detritus y fragmentos de material rocoso arrastrado y acumulado por el movimiento del hielo en un glaciar, gracias a lo cual se puede establecer los niveles fluctuantes de la línea de la nieve en los nevados. http://www.ensayistas.org/critica/ecologia/diccionario/m.htm moraine (mərān`), = A formation composed of unsorted and unbedded rock and soil debris called till, which was deposited by a glacier glacier, moving mass of ice that survives year to year, formed by the compacting of snow into névé and then into granular ice and set in motion outward and downward by the force of gravity and the stress of its accumulated mass. The till that falls on the sides of a valley glacier from the bounding cliffs makes up lateral moraines, running parallel to the valley sides. When two or more valley glaciers unite, their lateral moraines form a medial moraine, running down the center of the glacier. When two or more lobes of a continental ice sheet unite, the debris carried by each lobe intermingles, forming an interlobate moraine. When the climate of a region becomes warmer, glaciers will start receding. The debris deposited by a melting glacier is called a ground moraine. The debris left at the edge of the glacier's extreme forward movement is a terminal moraine. Similar moraines deposited during a temporary halt in the retreat of glacial ice are called recessional moraines. After the retreat of a glacier the moraines remain as prominent features of the topography. The margins of the great ice sheets of the Pleistocene epoch Pleistocene epoch (plī`stəsēn), 6th epoch of the Cenozoic era of geologic time (see Geologic Timescale , table) are marked by terminal moraines stretching across North America and Europe. http://encyclopedia2.thefreedictionary.com/Morraine MORRENA TERMINAL. TERMINAL MORRAINE. Detritus y fragmentos de material rocoso arrastrado y acumulado por el movimiento del hielo en un glaciar, gracias a lo cual se puede establecer los niveles fluctuantes de la línea de la nieve en los nevados. TILL. Depósito glacial no estratificado ni clasificado que se presenta asociado al extremo del glacial y las acumulaciones de las morrenas terminales. http://www.ensayistas.org/critica/ecologia/diccionario/m.htm Erosion rates of moraine crests from in-situ andatmospheric cosmogenic nuclide accumulation inboulders and matrix. http://64.233.167.104/search?q=cache:-N-Sap9EBI4J:www.cosis.... Abstract Push moraines (glaciotectonic ice-marginal moraines) have a restricted distribution at modern glacier margins and consequently are of potential value in reconstructing Pleistocene ice sheets, providing data both on former glaciodynamics and on the palaeoenvironment of the glacial foreland. To the wider earth science community, push moraines are of interest as analogues for thin-skin tectonics within orogenic belts. This paper reviews the morphology, structural geology, formation and significance of push moraines. The morphological and structural characteristics of small, seasonal, push moraines through to large, multi-crested, examples produced by sustained glacier advances are reported, before the primary controls on push moraine formation are examined. http://www.sciencedirect.com/science?_ob=ArticleURL&_udi=B6V... |

morain crest with motion (direction) to the... Explanation: morain crest with motion (direction) to the... *with motion to the* should be enough... Se trata, lo más probable, de la parte superior de una morrena, la cresta. Como son depósitos muy dinámicos, seguramente tienen rasgos de movimiento en cierta dirección. El contexto creo que debería decir: *dirección de movimiento al Norte, NE, Este, Oeste...* porque de otra manera la oración está truncada. Creo que es mucho, pero mucho muy recomendable tomar en cuenta las observaciones de Taña... |
