|
| The Copper River alluvial fan is an outwash plain, that is, formed from sediments deposited by glacial meltwater. |
|
| Meltwater discharge and deposition of subaqueous outwash have virtually no role in sedimentation. |
|
| These well drained, moderately to rapidly permeable soils were formed in glacial outwash. |
|
| During the summer months sediment is transported into the lake from the surrounding drainage basin as a result of ice melting and outwash. |
|
| Glaciers produce their changes on ice-covered realms and then export their outwash deposits into whatever environment is downslope. |
|
| The material comprising glacial moraines or glacial outwash may provide dams that confine postglacial waters. |
|
| Such banks are of course better developed around lakes crossed by outwash deposits, where large quantities of sand are available. |
|
| There was scattered, small-scale alluvial mining along the outwash plain of the Upper Lofa. |
|

|
| Biscotasi Lake shoreline is composed of pink granitic bedrock outcrops, thick outwash material and lacustrine deposits. |
|
| A major glacial outwash sand and gravel aquifer occurs in the Fraser Valley in British Columbia. |
|
| Isolated and buried ice blocks in the outwash melted to form depressions known as kettles. |
|
| Sedimentary variability and deformation within the ridge suggests that the ice was advancing into its own outwash at a time of high relative sea level. |
|
| The ecoregion is generally covered by undulating glacial drift and outwash deposits. |
|
| This ecoregion's rolling surface, which is generally below about 300 m asl elevation, is covered by glacial drift and outwash. |
|
| The sheet of outwash may be pitted with undrained kettles or dissected by postglacial streams. |
|
| It corresponds to the outwash plain or to a strip of land vegetation when there is no or little floodplain. |
|
|
|
| Other forms of glacial deposits commonly found in Canada are eskers, kames, and outwash deposits. |
|
| The glacial environment is not simple, due to the presence of a few eskers and their associated outwash. |
|
| Where meltwater streams flowed away from the ice front, they deposited sand and gravel as outwash fans and outwash plains. |
|
| Soils were formed from a sandy glacial outwash during the end of the last glacial period and are low in organic matter, nitrogen, clay, and water-holding capacity. |
|
| Large quantities of glacier meltwater deposited various kinds of material, the most important of which is called outwash, consisting mostly of sands and gravels. |
|
| Scientists can use radar imagery to create topographic models of the glaciers and extensive outwash plains to use as baseline maps for multitemporal change detection and mapping studies. |
|
| On the outwash or alluvial fans of creeks entering the valley bottoms, turbulent water flows and shifting rocky debris create new habitat for trembling aspens and the diverse communities they support. |
|
| This outwash surface slopes toward the Manistee River, which presumably carried the meltwater front this stagnant ice stillstand. |
|
| This feature is a broad, gently sloping sheet of outwash deposited by meltwater streams flowing in front of or beyond a glacier, and formed by coalescing outwash fans. |
|
| To the west the Sharp Lake esker is a south-trending esker ridge which joins the southeast trending Montreal River outwash system at the south end of Sharp Lake. |
|
| This photo shows a rocky ridge in the background, and a gravelly glacial outwash plain with a sharply defined fissure through the left side in the foreground. |
|
| The bulk of the land on Cape Cod consists of glacial landforms, formed by terminal moraine and outwash plains. |
|
| Composed of Cretaceous shale, its surface is generally below 310 m asl and is covered by undulating, peat-covered glacial drift and outwash deposits. |
|
| Occurring less frequently are outwash aprons of crudely sorted sand and gravel, and raised beach ridges along the shores of phantom preglacial lakes. |
|
| Further west is Hillsdale mound, a large glacial interlobate area composed of outwash material. |
|
| Elaborate interpretive center museums along the trail, found at three distant points, introduce hikers to a geologic taxonomy with terms like esker, kettle, moraine, kame, erratic, outwash plain, proglacial lake and drumlin. |
|
| This zone also represents the provincially significant Eagle-Finlayson moraine and associated features such as outwash, lacustrine and ground moraine deposits. |
|
| Unit US is a combination of flood deposits and glacial outwash. |
|
| The biggest piece of bad luck was being caught in the outwash of the Macondo well blowout, which Shell had nothing to do with and was far from the Arctic. |
|
| Around Kaffrine and in some areas of the region Luga, it will promote the development of 1,200 ha of lowland and outwash plains flood for rice and winter gardening. |
|
|
|
| The well-drained sandy soils at the site are part of the dry outwash plains in the area that are not conducive to agriculture, and fall within the Rubicon Soil Series. |
|
| Third and most extensive is the outwash plain or valley train. |
