Yosemite - Glacial Moraine/Till (Updated over a year ago)

You can view this bundle in the Earth - A Work in Progress collection area.

Image of glacial moraine/till along the side of a road in Yosemite. Glacial moraines are formed when glaciers pick up rock material as they move or cause landslides and rock falls when they scrape through valleys. The rock material is then deposited in large mounds and becomes a moraine.
