Is it true that a medial moraine is formed when two tributary glaciers join together and their lateral moraines combine?

Yes. Glaciological literature supports the standard description that medial moraines can form when tributary glaciers merge and combine their lateral moraines.

Verdict: SUPPORTED · 2 sources for, 0 against · Last checked

The analysis

The claim is a specific, verifiable geological statement describing the formation of medial moraines. Retrieved papers explicitly discuss how confluent ice streams and their lateral moraines or debris septa contribute to medial moraine development, thereby supporting the claim.
