  2. Moraine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moraine

    The snow-free debris hills around the lagoon are lateral and terminal moraines of a valley glacier in Manang, Nepal.. A moraine is any accumulation of unconsolidated debris (regolith and rock), sometimes referred to as glacial till, that occurs in both currently and formerly glaciated regions, and that has been previously carried along by a glacier or ice sheet.

  3. Till - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Till

    Till prospecting is a method of prospecting in which tills are sampled over a wide area to determine if they contain valuable minerals, such as gold, uranium, silver, nickel, or diamonds, and the flow direction indicated by the till is then used to trace the minerals back to their bedrock source.

  4. Fluvioglacial landform - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluvioglacial_landform

    Lateral Moraine: moraine in upper Engadin left by retreating glacier Lateral moraines are ridges of sediment deposited alongside the glacier running parallel to the long axis of the glacier. These sediments are typically deposited on top of the ice ( supraglacial till) at the margin of the glacier and as such do not experience the same amount ...

  5. Drift (geology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drift_(geology)

    Drift is often subdivided into unstratified (unsorted) drift (glacial till) that forms moraines and stratified drift (glaciolacustrine and fluvioglacial sediments) that accumulates as stratified and sorted sediments in the form of outwash plains, eskers, kames, varves, and so forth. The term drift clay is a synonym for boulder clay. Both are ...

  6. Proglacial lake - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proglacial_lake

    Tarn—a proglacial lake impounded by the terminal moraine of the retreating Schoolroom Glacier in Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming In geology, a proglacial lake is a lake formed either by the damming action of a moraine during the retreat of a melting glacier , a glacial ice dam, or by meltwater trapped against an ice sheet due to isostatic ...

  7. Terminal moraine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terminal_moraine

    A terminal moraine, also called an end moraine, is a type of moraine that forms at the terminal (edge) of a glacier, marking its maximum advance. At this point, debris that has accumulated by plucking and abrasion, has been pushed by the front edge of the ice, is driven no further and instead is deposited in an unsorted pile of sediment.

  8. 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 moraine.

  9. Wisconsin glaciation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wisconsin_glaciation

    The ice would act as a dam as water could not drain through the ice sheet, which in the Wisconsin period covered most of the proglacial river valleys. Numerous small, isolated water bodies formed between the moraine and the ice front. As the ice sheet would continue to melt and recede northward, these ponds combined into proglacial lakes. In ...
