The area where you feel the burning sensation is in the ball of the foot â medically referred to as the forefoot â under the top or heads of the metatarsal bones, the five long bones in the feet that connect to the toe bones.
Once the glacier starts to melt all the sediment that was picked up is deposited. The sediment that is deposited by a glacier is called till. As the till is deposited it can create different landforms. The till that is deposited from the sides of the glaciers are called a moraine. The side of the moraine that has reached the farthest length is called the terminal moraine. As the glacier retreats it can create a kettle. A kettle is a small depression in the ground that forms when a chunk of ice is left in the till.
During erosion, part of the geologic cycle, land is worn away and carried elsewhere by elements like wind and rain. Rock and tiny pieces of rock called silt are carried away to make up sediment. Sediment builds up in areas through a process called deposition. Of course, all that rock and silt has to go somewhere. Sometimes deposition is as dramatic as the creation of a new island like Surtsey, but often it affects much smaller, incremental changes in land that, over time, can become new landforms like mountains and deltas.
