English

Subject field(s)
  • Glaciology
  • Geomorphology and Geomorphogeny
DEF

A delta whose upper margin was built in contact with glacial ice.

CONT

A kame delta is a glacial landform made by a stream flowing through glacial ice and depositing material (Kame - distinctive because it has been sorted by the action of the stream) upon entering a lake or pond at the end or terminus of the glacier, thus "in front" of it, a proglacial lake. This landform may often be observed after the glacier has melted and usually has a delta (in the sense of the Greek letter) or triangular shape.

CONT

Other fluvioglacial features related to kames include kame-and-kettle topography (relief characterized by mounds and depressions), kame deltas or ice-contact deltas, kame moraines (composed primarily of fluvioglacial materials deposited near the front of an inactive glacier), and kame terraces or ice-contact terraces.
