The eight types of moraine are: ground, lateral, medial, push, recessional, terminal, supraglacial, and englacial. Supraglacial and englacial moraines exist only when a glacier is still active, ... A glacier is essentially a river of ice, formed on the land and moving slowly because of gravity’s force on the large mass.

(Thompson, 324) There are many types of moraines. One is the ... The recessional moraine is formed in the same way as the terminal moraine. A lateral moraine is formed when the glacier scrapes the sides of the mountains picking up sediments, and then when the glacier melts the sediments are left behind, forming the moraine.

Other features that were formed during the retreat of the glacier (and can be seen nearby) include lateral and recessional moraines, formed by debris deposited along the glacier terminus.

The dates revealed that some of the Wallowa Lake moraines are composite features formed during both glacial episodes. This new evidence suggests that the two older glacial advances may be much younger (300,000 to ... They may have formed during a glacial advance or could be recessional moraines formed as the ice retreated.

Most terminal moraines date from 1860 to 1900. Many recessional moraines were formed between 1900 and 1940, coincident with a regionally documented phase of cooler and wetter climate. The proposed chronology is similar to test results from elsewhere in Canadian Cordillera.
