End Moraines

End moraines are accumulations of debris such as rocks, soil, and other materials pushed forward and deposited at the edge of a glacier as it advances. They mark the furthest point the glacier has reached, essentially acting as a boundary or ridge formed from the material the glacier transports. When the glacier melts back, these ridges remain as visible evidence of its past extent. End moraines are important for understanding glacial history and movement, helping scientists study climate change and landscape evolution.
