Till plains are large flat or gently sloping areas of land on which glacial till has been deposited from a melted glacier. In some areas, these depositions can be up to hundreds of feet thick. The morphology of the till plain is generally reflective of the topography of the bedrock below the glacier. Another term for till plain is ground moraine.
The medial moraine is the double line of debris running down the centre-line of the glacier. Moraines are accumulations of debris that are found in regions where there are glaciers or were glaciers formerly. Moraines which are found far off from existing glaciers were created during a past ice age. The debris may have been taken off the valley ...
This left a terminal moraine where the glacier halted, and a ground moraine in other areas once covered by the continental glacier. The terminal moraine, known as the "Highlands Moraine", parallels the lakeshore, and forms the inland hills of the North Shore Highlands.
Rolling-to-flat landscapes that form under the ice sheet are referred to as ground moraine, or till plain. These landscapes form as the ice margin rapidly retreats, not pausing long enough to form end moraines, but nonetheless depositing till and other sediments haphazardly across the landscape. Much of Michigan's prime farmland is located on ...
A Veiki moraine ( Swedish: Veikimorän) is a type of moraine found in northern Sweden, Finnmark in Norway, [1] and parts of Canada. [2] This moraine is characterized by forming a hummocky landscape of irregular moraine plateaus with elevated rims that are intercalated with ponds. [3] Gunnar Hoppe was the first to define the Veiki moraine ...

The Oak Ridges Moraine is a geological landform that runs east-west across south central Ontario, Canada. It developed about 12,000 years ago, during the Wisconsin glaciation in North America. A complex ridge of sedimentary material, the moraine is known to have partially developed under water.
