  "id": "MLC-T-MET-007432",
  "term": "Moutonnée",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "A rock formation, also known as a roche moutonnée, that has been sculpted by the passage of a glacier. It has a distinctively asymmetric shape, with a smooth, gently sloped, and abraded side facing the direction from which the ice advanced. The opposite, down-ice side is steep, rough, and jagged due to glacial plucking and quarrying, making these features reliable indicators of past ice flow direction.",
