Medial Moraine (Landforms) 
Moraine formed on top and in the middle of an existing glacier. When two alpine glaciers flow together, their lateral moraines join, forming a medial moraine, a ridge in the middle and on top of the glacier. As glaciers melt this material is deposited on the landscape but will most likely not be recognizable as material formerly part of a medial moraine.
