Geological Work of Glacier – Part 2 | Depositional & Glaciofluvial Landforms

In this video (Part 2), we continue the Geological Work of Glacier and focus on Depositional Landforms, including features formed by glaciers and glaciofluvial processes. When glaciers melt, they deposit large amounts of unsorted and sorted sediments, forming unique landforms. ❄️ Depositional Landforms by Glacier (Direct Ice Deposition): • Lateral Moraine • Medial Moraine • Terminal Moraine • Ground Moraine • Till Plain • Drumlin • Erratics These landforms are mainly formed from till, which is unsorted and unstratified material deposited directly by ice. 🌊 Glaciofluvial Landforms (Deposited by Meltwater): • Esker • Kame • Kame Terrace • Outwash Plain (Sandur) • Kettle Hole / Kettle Lake These deposits are sorted and stratified because they are transported and deposited by meltwater streams. 🧊 Landforms by Continental Ice Sheets: Large ice sheets, such as those that covered parts of North America and Europe during the Pleistocene, formed: • Extensive Till Plains • Drumlins Fields • Esker Networks • Kettle Lakes • Fjords (in coastal regions) These features indicate widespread glaciation and large-scale ice movement. This lecture is highly useful for: IIT JAM, GATE, CUET PG, UPSC, and other Geology/Geography competitive exams.
