Lateral moraine
As moraines of a are glacial deposited rubble referred to that have been deposited at the side of the actual direction of propagation of the glacier. The strength of the icing can be reconstructed based on its height.
In more recent geomorphology , the term is rarely used with regard to the moraine body itself, since side moraines resemble terminal moraines in composition and structure .
With regard to the subsequent molding processes, the distinction still makes sense. Lateral moraines, for example, are often coupled with flank channels, i.e. watercourses that can arise on both sides of valley glaciers and are fed by glacier melt water as well as from slope water and flowing streams. Lateral moraines can fix these drainage lines long after the glacier has existed. There are also especially moraines that can slip zutal at a steep hillside after melting of the glacier and then as dumps the left by the glaciers Trogtalform cover.
Occasionally, the term lateral moraine only refers to the sediment body recently formed by glaciers; this is instead referred to as a bank moraine when it can no longer be reached from the surface of the melting or former glacier.
The term continues to be used for the rock remnants that have not been deposited but are overprinted and extend as elongated hills along today's and ice age glaciers in the high mountains.
