Which set of moraines formed first: the Bloody Canyon moraines or the Sawmill Canyon moraines? How do you know?
Large lateral moraines can be see at the mouth of Bloody Canyon (Walker Lake and Walker Creek are between these moraines; 37°52'28"N, 119°09'53"W). The glacier that left these moraines flowed down Bloody Canyon from near Mono Pass. Sawmill Canyon (just south of Bloody Canyon) consists of two large lateral moraines—these moraines were left by a glacier that at one time also flowed down Bloody Canyon.
What will be an ideal response?
Sawmill Canyon. Sawmill Canyon moraines are blocked/cutoff by Bloody Canyon moraines.
