Abstract

The deposits existing in the ice is formed by materials part of which is deposited by water (in terms of particle size) and irregularly structured in melting ice. Sedimentation can occur on, opposite to, or under the destination area of ​​the ice river, and is possible to be irregular and individual. Ice is likely to melt from the contact with sediment collected beneath it, or from the position beside it, which leads to falling, subsidence or slipping. Principles of formation of land by this process are the rows of sand and small hills of rock and soil belonging to the Ice Age.
