  Glacial 
  sand 
  plains. 
  Deposits 
  of 
  stratified 
  gravel 
  and 
  sand 
  in 
  the 
  form 
  of 
  deltas 
  

   and 
  gently 
  sloping 
  fans, 
  deposited 
  by 
  streams 
  along 
  tbe 
  margin 
  c-f 
  a 
  glacier. 
  

   Where 
  built 
  into 
  open 
  water, 
  the 
  deltas 
  usually 
  show 
  fore-set 
  beds 
  in 
  the 
  

   body 
  of 
  the 
  dep')sit 
  and 
  top-sot 
  becjs 
  capping 
  the 
  whole. 
  Where 
  the 
  deposit 
  

   has 
  banked 
  up 
  t 
  bouL 
  the 
  margin 
  of 
  the 
  ice 
  front, 
  a 
  terrace 
  is 
  formed 
  by 
  the 
  

   subsequent 
  melting 
  out 
  of 
  the 
  ice 
  

  

  Glaciated. 
  Said 
  of 
  a 
  country 
  which 
  has 
  been 
  scoured 
  and 
  worn 
  down 
  by 
  glacial 
  

   action, 
  or 
  strewn 
  with 
  ice-laid 
  drift 
  

  

  Ground 
  moraine. 
  Coating 
  of 
  boulders 
  or 
  mixture 
  of 
  boulders, 
  gravel, 
  sand, 
  and 
  

   clay 
  which 
  a 
  glacier 
  leaves 
  on 
  the 
  surface 
  of 
  a 
  country. 
  In 
  existing 
  glaciers, 
  

   the 
  debris 
  carried 
  along 
  under

  Ice 
  contact. 
  Terracelike 
  slope 
  at 
  the 
  iceward 
  margin 
  of 
  deposits 
  which 
  have 
  

   been 
  banked 
  up 
  against 
  the 
  ice 
  front 
  or 
  about 
  masses 
  of 
  ice. 
  The 
  slope 
  is 
  

   often 
  cast 
  in 
  mounds 
  (kames) 
  and 
  hollows 
  which 
  result 
  from 
  the 
  melting 
  out 
  

   of 
  buried 
  masses 
  of 
  ice. 
  Where 
  smooth 
  and 
  even 
  like 
  a 
  river 
  terrace, 
  it 
  may 
  

   be 
  distinguished 
  from 
  a 
  river 
  terrace 
  by 
  its 
  position 
  often 
  being 
  such 
  that 
  a 
  

   river 
  could 
  not 
  have 
  flowed 
  along 
  its 
  base 
  

  

  Ice-laid. 
  Said 
  of 
  boulders, 
  or 
  mixtures 
  of 
  boulders, 
  gravel, 
  sand, 
  and 
  clay 
  

   which 
  have 
  accumulated 
  under 
  a 
  moving 
  glacier 
  or 
  have 
  come 
  to 
  rest 
  on 
  the 
  

   ground 
  from 
  the 
  melting 
  out 
  of 
  the 
  ice 
  in 
  which 
  the 
  material 
  was 
  embedded 
  

  

  Ice 
  sheet. 
  Form

  glacier 
  moving

   fall 
  and

  all 
  but 
  the 
  highest 
  mountains 
  in 
  its 
  path

  Intraglacial. 
  Said 
  of 
  phenomena 
  peculiar 
  to 
  the 
  field 
  actually 
  covered 
  by

  any 
  given 
  time; 
  contrasted 
  with

  of 
  stratified 
  or 
  rudely 
  stratified 
  gravel 
  and 
  sand 
  often 
  separated 
  

   by 
  hollows; 
  due 
  to 
  the 
  irregular 
  settling 
  or 
  deposition 
  of 
  deposits 
  laid 
  down 
  

   in 
  the 
  presence 
  of 
  melting

  Kame 
  moraine.

  out 
  beyond 
  the

   in 
  belts
