| Popis: |
The most typical and distinctive glaciotectonic landforms are ice-shoved ridges found in many glaciated plains. Prest (1983:45) aptly described such ridges as, ‘a composite of great slices of up-thrust and commonly contorted sedimentary bedrock that is generally interlayered with and overlain by much glacial drift.’ The term composite-ridges (= transverse-ridges of Clayton et al. 1980) is used here for such ice-shoved ridges. Composite-ridges that include a substantial volume of deformed pre-Quaternary bedrock should not be called end moraines. |
