Tinley Moraine, Glacial moraine in Illinois, United States.
The Tinley Moraine extends through multiple counties in Illinois, consisting of accumulated earth and stones deposited by ancient glacial movements.
During the Wisconsin Glaciation period, this moraine formed when the Lake Michigan Lobe receded northward of the Valparaiso Moraine and advanced again.
Communities like Flossmoor, Western Springs, and Arlington Heights developed along the moraine, integrating natural features into their urban planning.
The geological formation presents opportunities for environmental studies, outdoor education, and natural observation through accessible walking paths.
Located 6 miles closer to Lake Michigan than the Valparaiso Moraine, this narrow ridge contains a distinct mixture of silt and clay deposits.
