Answer:

Option (D)

Explanation:

A moraine is usually defined as a glaciated landform that is formed by the accumulation of sediments and the moving glaciers. It is comprised of well-sorted sediment particles, which are being shaped during its time of transportation.

There are three distinct types of moraines, namely-

  • Lateral moraine- These are found to be deposited along the sides of the glacier
  • Medial moraine- This type of moraines joins the two separate glaciers
  • Terminal moraine- This type of moraine is found at the end of the glacier. It is located at the furthest distance from the main glaciers.

Thus, the correct answer is option (D).
