2. 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 ...

4. 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 ...

5. 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 ...

6. Terminal moraine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terminal_moraine

   The accumulation of till will form a terminal moraine as the glacier retreats. [2] Ablation moraines form when a large piece of ice, containing an accumulation of sediment and debris, breaks from the snout of the glacial. Once it is separated and begins to melt, the debris found throughout this glacial piece is deposited to form a new terminal ...

7. Glacial till plains (Ohio) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glacial_till_plains_(Ohio)

   The Glacial till plains are a till plain landform in Northern Ohio, located near the shore of Lake Erie and produced by the retreat of the Wisconsin glaciation. Since glacial till is highly fertile soil, agriculture on the glacial till plains is very productive. The region has gently rolling moraine hills left over from the retreating glaciers ...
