Ugh. 20%.

Question 4 needs work. First of all, it should be "ice-broken" not "ice
broken."

Spoiler Alert. Stop reading if you have not taken the quiz but intend to.

(scroll down)

Scree is the name for small rocks or loose rock fragments accumulating
at the base of a steep mountain or cliff face. These rocks can be
deposited there via any force of erosion; (liquid) water is the most common.

A moraine (note spelling) is the pile of rocks that gets pushed ahead of
an advancing glacier. When the glacier retreats the rocks are left
behind in a ridge which marks the furthest advance if the ice. (Long
Island and Cape Cod are very large moraines.) Since this is the only
answer that necessarily involves ice, it is most nearly the correct answer.

Thanks, Shooky, I have reworded the question so that there's no ambiguity.

No. I'm living well below the edge. I just crawled up there this once.
