Collections were made from the inner edge moraine, probably ice-cored, c. 200m a. s. l.
Although widespread around the island, all are well-drained sites: rocky land behind a beach, rocky bluffs, old buildings, and moraines.
Rivers from the moraine belts flow from the glaciers and have created complex outwash plains (sandur) combining detritic cones in different stages of development.
It left striated outcrops and extensive moraines on the eastern half of the island.
The moraines are ice-cored with highly mobile large clasts.
For example, in geology one uses words like ' crater ' and ' moraine ' which (in contrast to ' pit ' and ' hill ', respectively) presuppose particular causal origins.
He realised the effects of isostasy and accurately described the formation of medial and terminal moraines.
An upper and lower moraine are apparent, with the upper moraine, closer to the edge of plateau, containing a diversity of angular boulders.
