Drumlin, a streamlined, elongate mound of sediment, is another depositional landform associated with continental glaciation. The compression of such rubble usually creates these tear-shaped depositional landforms. These structures often occur in groups of tens or hundreds, which are called drumlin fields....
The Grand River and Cuyahoga Lobes of the Laurentide Ice Sheet created these landforms, part of the Allegheny Plateau, during the last glaciation. This region differs significantly from the flat-lying western plains of western Ohio that are dominated by multiple morainal ridges surrounded by ground...
Processes that create landforms include tectonic activity such as earthquakes and volcanoes, and weathering, erosion and glaciation. The branch of geology called geomorphology studies these forms and processes for clues about the origin of the earth's landscape. Major Landforms The three major types of...
The Danxia landform refers to various landscapes found in southeast, southwest and northwest China that "consist of a red bed characterized by steep cliffs."The landforms are unique types of petrographic geomorphology found in China. The Danxia landform is created from red-colored sandstones and cong...
The geomorphic circumstances that occurred in tributaries to the West Branch Susquehanna River during middle Pleistocene glaciation are extremely rare and may be unique in the world. Failure of ice dams released sediment-rich water from lakes, entraining cobbles and boulders, and depositing them in ...
(soil erosion, transportation, deposition) lead to creation of glacial landforms. A cirque is a circular depression formed due to alpine glaciation. An arête is a large rock present or formed between cirques. Esker is sediment deposition by a stream in a longitudinal manner, whereas a fjord ...
The shelf break is relatively shallow (300–400m) and incised by numerous gullies that extent onto the continental slope. The presence of these features suggests that grounded, streaming ice has reached the shelf break during the last glaciation. Both, the subglacial channels on the continental ...

This system is based mainly on the drainage routes and directions formed on the foreland of the ice sheet, which withdrew from the range line of the Pomeranian phase of the Weichselian glaciation 16–17 ka, [60]. This area shows a well-developed relief, accompanied by numerous lakes of ...
