A ridge of rock debris deposited by a glacier
Real World Example
Imagine walking through your house and gradually accumulating a trail of items, like socks, magazines, and toys, as you tidy up from room to room. This clutter trail you create as you move is much like a moraine, which is a ridge of rock debris left behind by a moving glacier. Just as your path through the house results in a line of items that marks where you've been, a glacier drags rocks and debris along its journey, depositing them in a ridge that traces its past movement. The socks and toys are like the rocks, and your purposeful path through the house is akin to the glacier's slow, deliberate progression, both leaving a clear trail of where you've traveled.
