Kames are often associated with kettles, and this is referred to as kame and kettle or knob and kettle [1] topography. The word kame is a variant of comb (kame, or kaim is the Old Scottish word meaning 'comb'), which has the meaning "crest" among others. [2] The geological term was introduced by Thomas Jamieson in 1874. [3]
The peak itself is a moulin kame. The land was developed in 1851 by Charles Hanson as a tourist attraction. He built a 20-foot (6.1 m) tower on top of the hill and charged visitors to picnic and climb the tower. Originally known as Stoney Hill, [6] the hill was later named Government Hill, [6] after the government teams that used it for surveying.
A drumlin, from the Irish word droimnín ("little ridge"), first recorded in 1833, in the classical sense is an elongated hill in the shape of an inverted spoon or half-buried egg [1] [2] formed by glacial ice acting on underlying unconsolidated till or ground moraine.
The Withrow Moraine and Jameson Lake Drumlin Field National Natural Landmark is located on the Waterville Plateau, which lies in the northwest corner of the Columbia River Plateau. The plateau is formed on top of the Columbia River Basalt Group a large igneous province that lies across parts of the states of Washington , Oregon , and Idaho in ...
Kame deltas form in association with other glacial features such as kettles and eskers. [3] Kettle lakes can form in between kame deltas. Eskers are remnants of old stream sediment flows that are exposed after the glacier has melted. These formations give indication that kame deltas formed during times of glaciation.
That huge hit wasn't the end of the fireworks. The replay seemed to show that Nixon recovered the ball as the scrum started to pile on top of him.
Kame terraces are useful tool to indicate past ice margins. [30] A kame terrace is a relatively flat surface of sediments that was deposited between the valley surface and the glacier. When a kame surfaces and other fluvio-glacial landforms are combined into one landscape, it is called a kame complex or glacial karst topography.
