Answer: c. Lateral moraine

Explanation:

As a glacier moves, it moves dirt and rock in its path. The residual deposit is known as a moraine. A Lateral Moraines is formed on the sides of a glacier, displaced on either side of the glacier.

During this movement, gold deposits may accumulate but are mixed in with the debris. As the glacier melts, the water naturally sorts gold from the lighter materials. The gold is then deposited in high quantities on bedrocks in lateral moraines

Can I just have a good amount of info on nuclear energy
DerKrebs [107]
Nuclear energy is created during a fission or fusion, and is typically used to generate electricity. Nuclear power plants use the fission or fusion reaction to create the nuclear energy, which generates heat. This heat the power plants use to transform the heat energy into electricity. Fission is where large nuclei are split into smaller nuclei. Fusion is where the small nuclei are put together to create large nuclei. These two reactions create nuclear energy.
