| The orientation of the Nye channels and sculpted forms and the palaeocurrent direction for the glaciofluvial deposits indicate westward ice flow. |
|
| The cores of the ridges are composed of muddy-sandy gravel, interpreted as a reworked ice-marginal deposit dominated by glaciofluvial material. |
|
| When the stream or rivers are associated with glaciers, ice sheets, or ice caps, the term glaciofluvial or fluvioglacial is used. |
|
| Another unusual ice-contact feature is an esker, a long, narrow, steep-sided ridge of glaciofluvial sand and gravel inhabiting a glaciated area. |
|
| The highlands are built of tills and of englacial and marginal glaciofluvial sands and gravel. |
|
| Trends in dominance of glaciofluvial deposits or of till and lacustrine deposits can be recognized. |
|
| Glaciofluvial deposits form also kame terraces and often fill ancient valleys. |
