Moraines - Panum Crater (Updated over a year ago)

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

Photo of moraines located at the Panum Crater east of the Sierra Nevada mountains. A large volcanic eruption blew the top off the peak and created the crater. Glacial moraines are formed when glaciers pick up till, or rock material, and it is redeposited in large mounds.
