fluvio-glacial

Fluvio-glacial is the water created by the melting of glaciers.

Between these are fields of fluvio-glacial out-wash, such as around Munich.

Rivers carry these fine particles with them, even from their sources at glaciers as Fluvio-glacial.

Fluvio-glacial can also mean sediments deposited by the glacier meltwater.

The term was used particularly to describe long sinuous ridges, which are now known to be deposits of fluvio-glacial material.

The upper valley is primarily Millstone Grit with fluvio-glacial deposits.

In the southern part of the site, the soils are freely drained iron podzols formed from fluvio-glacial sands and gravel.

Fluvio-glacial landforms differ from glacial landforms.

Occupying a natural basin of fluvio-glacial origin between the River Clyde and the Kelvin, the site is roughly triangular in shape.

These deposits appear to be heavily-cryoturbated terrace gravels of presumed fluvial origin, although a fluvio-glacial origin has also been suggested.

Partington's local drift geology is a mixture of alluvial deposits, fluvio-glacial gravel, and peat deposited about 10,000 years ago, during the last ice age.

Although "drift" strictly refers to glacial and fluvio-glacial deposits, the term on geological maps has traditionally included other material including alluvium, river terraces, etc.

Additionally, there is a fluvio-glacial deposit with a broad irrigated marsh and a scenic pine forest; and a wetland which is the remnant of a former stream.

Hutton suggested the huttonite contained in the beach sand and fluvio-glacial deposits originated from Otago schists or pegmatitic veins in the Southern Alps.

Such fluvio-glacial landforms include outwash plains, varves, braided streams, eskers, kames (and kame terraces), kettles (or kettle holes) and proglacial lakes.

His Arctic experiences enabled him to interpret the method of origin of the drift deposits in northern Europe, and to show that they were largely of glacial or fluvio-glacial origin.

Brachaspis robustus is always found in very rocky areas (stony floodplain terraces, fluvio-glacial outwash, recent fluvial outwash and rocky braided river), and never found in vegetation.

Huttonite was first described in 1950 from beach sand and fluvio-glacial deposits in South Westland, New Zealand, where it was found as anhedral grains of no more than 0.2 mm maximum dimension.

Former ice caps did not reach south of the line running from Bristol to London, so this area has only been impacted by fluvio-glacial deposition which is represented in gravel beds around rivers such as the Thames.

In some places the glacial deposits were reworked by small glacial streams and rivers leading to occasional, small deposits of fluvio-glacial sands and gravels which are often used throughout these islands as sources of aggregate for building purposes.

Glaciation and the resulting glacial and fluvio-glacial deposition has had a vast impact on the geology of England covering many areas with a veneer of glacial till in the lower lying areas north of a line running from Bristol to London.

Lake Pepin (30 mi [50 km] below St. Paul), a picturesque expansion of the river across its flood-plain, is due to the aggradation of the valley floor where the Chippewa River, coming from the northeast, brought an overload of fluvio-glacial drift.
