ASSIGNMENT
Geology is a very broad science discipline. Geology address soil, volcanoes, the Earth’s crust and mantle, and much, much more. In the Discussion this week, we will explore dynamic charges in Earth’s landscape due to movement of glaciers.

For your Main post this week, you will research either ancient or existing moraines (geological formations shaped by movement of glaciers) then select a moraine and research its history, explaining how and when it came into existence.
*Do not repeat a moraine that has already been addressed by a classmate.*
- Identify a moraine
- What type of moraine is it? Explain how the moraine you identified fits into this type of moraine.
- Location. Provide as much detail as possible: continent, country, state/province, and city if possible.
- When was the moraine formed? Over what period was it formed?
- Discuss any unique information about the location such as whether it is a tourist attraction, an agricultural area, or some other unique aspect of the
