  2. 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.

  3. Glacial landform - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glacial_landform

    Glacial landforms are landforms created by the action of glaciers. Most of today's glacial landforms were created by the movement of large ice sheets during the Quaternary glaciations . Some areas, like Fennoscandia and the southern Andes , have extensive occurrences of glacial landforms; other areas, such as the Sahara , display rare and very ...

    Sediments that are carried in the suspended load of a stream, commonly silts and clays, are transported into the lake in suspension or by currents along the lake floor.. These are the principal deposits during the winter because of lack of melting of the glacier so the stream has a reduced discharge therefore carrying less coarse mate

    In geography and geology, fluvial sediment processes or fluvial sediment transport are associated with rivers and streams and the deposits and landforms created by sediments. It can result in the formation of ripples and dunes , in fractal -shaped patterns of erosion, in complex patterns of natural river systems, and in the development of ...
