  • Moraines: Understanding Glacial Deposition and Landforms
    The correct answer is moraine.

    Here's why:

    * Moraine: A moraine is a landform composed of till, unsorted glacial debris, that is deposited by a glacier. It's the direct result of deposition.

    Let's look at the other options:

    * Cirque: A cirque is a bowl-shaped hollow formed by glacial erosion, not deposition.

    * Arete: An arete is a sharp, jagged ridge formed by glacial erosion from two opposing cirques.

    * U-shaped valley: A U-shaped valley is formed by the erosive power of a glacier carving out a valley with steep sides and a flat bottom.

    In summary, moraines are the only glacial feature directly formed by deposition.
