Moraine, Eskers and Cirques are associated with the Glacial Landforms. Uvala or valley sink, caves, and lapies are associated with Karst landforms. Moraines are long ridges of deposits of glacial till. Cirque are deep, long and wide troughs or basins with very steep concave to vertically dropping high walls at its head as well as sides. Esker is a sinuous ridge which is formed due to deposition of coarse materials.
