According to the soil types, moraine B and E have
a very similar age. But this conclusion is not right in all
cases. Can you explain how these two moraines could have a very
different age?
Solution: The older
moraine may have been influenced by a disturbance, e.g. a rock
fall or debris accumulation, causing the development of new
soil. This new soil would falsely indicate that the moraine
is much younger than it actually is. So, a good field check
is crucial!
