GLACIAL AND FLUVIOGLACIAL DEPOSITS The characteristics of the deposits
vary according to the properties of the environments in which they were
transported and deposited. Sugden and John (1976) have argued that there are

For this reason alone, landforms associated with mechanical erosion are quite
common in fluvioglacial environments. Pitting and etching of the water-worn
surfaces are evidence of hydraulic action, while sichelwannen (crescent-shaped
scour ...

3 Landforms of glacial and fluvioglacial deposition A corollary of the considerable
erosive effect of glacier ice in many parts of Britain is that there must have been
an equivalent amount of deposition. Not all of the evidence for this can be found ...

In the southern proximal region, the fluvioglacial topset succession is up to 60 In
thick. It progressively thins and eventually pinches out downstream to the North at
the 50 km scale (Figs 10 & 2). Climbing-dune crossstratification (CDCS), ...

fluvioglacial gravels are important sources of aggregate in the recently glaciated
areas. Fluvioglacial gravels occur in several different configurations, often giving
rise to conspicuous, and thus readily recognized, landforms. Thus kames or ...
