Question

identifying features created by deposition
a geologist finds this ridge of sediment while out in the field. the geologist notices a glacier in the distance. what feature is this ridge?
○ kettle
○ loess
○ moraine
○ delta

Explanation:

• A kettle is a depression formed by melting ice blocks left by glaciers.
• Loess is wind - blown silt.
• A moraine is a ridge of sediment deposited by a glacier.
• A delta is formed by sediment deposition at the mouth of a river. Since the geologist found a ridge of sediment and noticed a glacier, the moraine is the correct feature as it is directly related to glacial sediment deposition.

Answer:

moraine
