Medial Moraine A medial moraine is found on top of and inside an existing glacier. Medial moraines are formed when two glaciers meet. Two lateral moraines from the different glaciers are pushed together. This material forms one line of rocks and dirt in the middle of the new, bigger glacier. If a glacier melts, the medial moraine it leaves behind will be a long ridge of earth in the middle of a valley.
