| Although ice masses in those areas make up only 30 percent of the world's glaciers, they contribute 70 percent of the total glacial meltwater. |
| The Copper River alluvial fan is an outwash plain, that is, formed from sediments deposited by glacial meltwater. |
| Latvia's undulating landscape is dominated by morainic hills and meltwater deposits dating back to the latest glacial epoch. |
| Following melt initiation, the intensity of melt is another consideration in the production of meltwater runoff. |
| Formed by accumulated meltwater, the overfilled lakes could suddenly discharge massive volumes of water, known as glacial lake outburst flooding. |
| Below the glacier lies granite, seamed through with limestone and marble which the constant rush of meltwater has honeycombed with caves. |
