2. Flute (glacial) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flute_(glacial)

   Various models about the formation of flutes have been proposed. The most widely accepted model is the Cavity Infill Model. [2] [3] [7] According this model, the formation of a flute is initiated when basal melting lodges a boulder on the subglacial bed of glacial. Once the boulder is lodged, the passing glacial ice can no longer move the ...

4. Till - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Till

   Till after avalanche, Norway. Till or glacial till is unsorted glacial sediment. Till is derived from the erosion and entrainment of material by the moving ice of a glacier. It is deposited some distance down-ice to form terminal, lateral, medial and ground moraines. Till is classified into primary deposits, laid down directly by glaciers, and ...

5. U-shaped valley - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U-shaped_valley

   U-shaped valleys, also called trough valleys or glacial troughs, are formed by the process of glaciation. They are characteristic of mountain glaciation in particular. [ 1 ] They have a characteristic U shape in cross-section, with steep, straight sides and a flat or rounded bottom (by contrast, valleys carved by rivers tend to be V-shaped in ...

6. Till plain - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Till_plain

   Till plains are large flat or gently sloping areas of land on which glacial till has been deposited from a melted glacier. In some areas, these depositions can be up to hundreds of feet thick. The morphology of the till plain is generally reflective of the topography of the bedrock below the glacier. Another term for till plain is ground ...

7. Fluvioglacial landform - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluvioglacial_landform

   Fluvioglacial landforms or glaciofluvial landforms[a] are those that result from the associated erosion and deposition of sediments caused by glacial meltwater. Glaciers contain suspended sediment loads, much of which is initially picked up from the underlying landmass. Landforms are shaped by glacial erosion through processes such as glacial ...
