Midt moræne

Moræne er materialet (som regel jord og sten) der transporteres af gletsjere og derefter aflejres.

Én af morænetyperne. Der aflejres kaldes en midtmoræne. Den mellemliggende linje dannes når kanterne af to gletsjere sammenflettes til at danne en større gletsjer med en linje op igennem. Linjen indeholder materialet fra de to laterale moræner af de sammenflettede gletsjere.

Midtmoræne dannes kun i gletsjernes ablations zone, hvilket er grunden til at denne type moræne er en god indikator af, hvor linjen mellem akkumulations– og ablations zonen er.

Når gletsjer is smelter, efterlades en højderyg af materiale langs midten af dalen.
