Painesville Moraine
wave cut moraine
The Euclid Moraine lay above the highest
reach of ancestral Lake Erie. For a brief
period, the Painesville Moraine formed
an ancestral Lake Erie shoreline.
The Painesville’s northern area was
therefore cut flat by wave action. Waves
never touched the southern area. Here,
stream action has cut deep ravines.
