Sentence examples for glacial limit from inspiring English sources

Within the glacial limit sandy gravelly to silty gravelly tills are widely distributed, whereas glaciolacustrine sediments are restricted to a small area north of the lake.

Beyond the glacial limit the landscape is denuded by periglacial slope deposits which are differentiated from the glacigenic sediments based upon clast fabrics, clast shapes and sediment consolidation.

Highly weathered regolith in ∼540 wells averages ∼3.3 m thick, mean depth to bedrock in 1661 wells is ∼7 m, and the weathered thickness exceeds 10 m in relatively large local areas east of the late Pleistocene glacial limit.

A two-component planar GIS model of the ice surface is derived using these features and intersected with a digital model of contemporary topography to create a glacial limit map.

In Chile, the northern glacial limit is also a boundary for major environmental changes (e.g. topography, currents, water salinity), resulting in a major biogeographic transition for marine [ 14] and freshwater species [ 15].

In the first method, glacial limits are known from moraines, and the bounds are used to constrain the lowest palaeo ice surface consistent with modern profiles.

On the Ondřejník ridge (Outer Western Carpathians, Czech Republic), sackungen occur in the mid-Holocene in the medium-high mountains which are beyond the Pleistocene glacial limits.
