Glacial Tectonism at Hither Hills, Long Island, Revealed by Ground-Penetrating Radar Investigations
An actively advancing glacial ice sheet can have an enormous impact upon the terrain it comes in contact with, indiscriminately depositing, eroding, and deforming sediments it comes upon. It can transfer large amounts of stress through loading, compression, and shearing via a variety of processes re...

| Summary: | An actively advancing glacial ice sheet can have an enormous impact upon the terrain it comes in contact with, indiscriminately depositing, eroding, and deforming sediments it comes upon. It can transfer large amounts of stress through loading, compression, and shearing via a variety of processes referred to by the sweeping term glacial tectonism. Active glacial margins |
