2. like the above but it marks a glacier's maximum extent.	terminal moraine	64%
6. large pile of existing glacial till and sand that is shaped by glacial movement. They end up looking like a tear drop or half buried egg, and in areas where these are found there tend to tens to hundreds and they all point in roughly the same direction.	drumlin	57%
1. areas of deposited glacial till(rock and regolith of various sizes) which is left by a glacier in retreat, left behind as the melting drops the rock embeded in said glacier. can be hills or ground level areas	moraine	57%
4. the build up of sediment along an stream internal to a glacier, creating a long relatively narrow and curving embankment. They can be several kilometers long and resemble a raised railroad right of way.	esker	43%
9. a valley that is formed by a mountain glacier as it travels, creating a regular half circle pattern carried for great distances.	trough valley	36%
5. pile of glacial till and sand that accumulates inside the depression of a glacier and is then dropped en masse creating an irregularly shaped hill.	kame	29%
10. a place where a tributary glacier meets a larger heavier glacier, resulting, after retreat, in the smaller glacier's path opening higher up the side the #9. It ends up looking like someone cut away the rest of the path and showing the half circle cross section extremely well.	hanging valley	21%
3. a depression in an outwash plain left by chucks of ice calved off the glacier, surrounded by sediment and then melted.

8. a body of water formed between the front of the glacier and the last #1 formed as the glacier retreats	glacial lake	7%
16. grooves cut into bedrock by glaciers crawling over it. these have been recorded up to 400 feet long and up to 3 feet deep!	glacial striations	7%
14. the many threaded deposits left in a fan shape by the breided streams flowing out from under the front of a glacier as it melts.	outwash fan	7%
7. In an area that has been depressed by the weight of a glacier, and is slowly gains altitude as the weight disipates. this area is experiencing?	rebound	0%
