|
| Soils at the Turkey Lakes Watershed have developed in a two component glacial till composed of a stony, silty-loam ablation till that overlies bedrock or a courser compacted, sandy basal till. |
|
| The five pipelines are buried in a dark brown, clay, loam textured soil, with some small stones or pebbles and coarse sand indicative of a fine-textured glacial till. |
|
| Patches of Antarctica's two vascular plants — a short, tufty, pale-green hair grass, Deschampsia antarctica, and a mossy-looking pearlwort, Colobanthus quitensis — were colonizing new territory amid the glacial till. |
|
| This rolling to mountainous, dissected plateau is composed of diverse Palaeozoic metamorphic and igneous strata that are mantled with hummocky, stony, and bouldery glacial till, colluvial and minor ice-contact deposits. |
|
| A thin layer of glacial till effectively hid the sand deposit located within a 25-m high, flat-topped hill. |

| It is overlain by up to 7.5 m of gossan and unconsolidated glacial till. |
|
| The topography is diverse, varying from exposed bedrock in the upland areas to extensive areas of rolling terrain dominated by deep glacial till and glaciofluvial deposits in lower areas. |
|
| As in the rest of northern Europe, the soil there consists of glacial till pierced by vertical fractures caused by the movement of glaciers in the distant past. |
|
| Where glaciofluvial deposits outcrop, they can form excellent recharge zones as this geological unit was generally either deposited directly on bedrock or is in contact with the permeable glacial till. |
|

|
| It created much of the surface geology of southern Canada and the northern United States, leaving behind glacially scoured valleys, moraines, eskers and glacial till. |
