Fluvio-glacial
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fluvio-glacial is the water created by the melting of glaciers. It literally means "Water Glacier." It is also commonly called 'melt water'.
Fluvio-glacial can also mean sediments deposited by the glacier meltwater. Fluvio-glacial landforms differ from glacial landforms. Such fluvio-glacial landforms include outwash plains, varves, braided streams, eskers, kames (and kame terraces), kettles (or kettle holes) and proglacial lakes.
