<P> A terminal moraine, also called end moraine, is a type of moraine that forms at the snout (edge) of a glacier, marking its maximum advance . At this point, debris that has accumulated by plucking and abrasion, and has been pushed by the front edge of the ice, is driven no further and instead is dumped in a heap . Because the glacier acts very much like a conveyor belt, the longer it stays in one place, the greater the amount of material that will be deposited . The moraine is left as the marking point of the terminal extent of the ice . </P> <P> Terminal moraines are one of the most prominent types of moraines in the Arctic . One famous terminal moraine is the Giant's Wall in Norway which, according to legend, was built by giants to keep intruders out of their realm . </P>

What does the location of a terminal moraine tell you about the glacier
