The Structure of Moraines in Lyngsdalen, North Norway

Abstract The structure of some moraines in and around two glaciers in northern Norway was studied by the method of fabric analysis. It was found that englacial material tends to lie parallel to the direction of movement of the ice, and material in lateral and terminal moraines shows orientations whi...

Description
Summary:Abstract The structure of some moraines in and around two glaciers in northern Norway was studied by the method of fabric analysis. It was found that englacial material tends to lie parallel to the direction of movement of the ice, and material in lateral and terminal moraines shows orientations which appear to be related to the conditions under which it was deposited.
