How Are Kettles Formed. The northern kettle interlobate moraine is, as the name implies, a moraine with numerous kettles, formed between two lobes of ice—the green bay and lake michigan. Eventually, it becomes wholly or partially buried in sediment and slowly melts, leaving behind a. The occurrence of these stranded ice masses is thought to be the result of gradual accumulation of outwash atop the irregular glacier terminus. This animation shows how blocks of ice get trapped in the sediments of a retreating glacier. Glaciers deposit sediment and leave isolated ice blocks as they recede, leading to the formation of kames and kettles. Kame and kettle topography is often located on end moraines (locations where sediment accumulates at the end of a glacier) because sediment is deposited when glaciers recede. Kettles form when a block of stagnant ice (a serac) detaches from the glacier. Kettle, in geology, depression in a glacial outwash drift made by the melting of a detached mass of glacial ice that became wholly or partly buried.
