Fluvioglacial deposits. They are the result of meltwater transportation and deposition. They tend to be stratified and consist of rounded or sub-rounded particles. The extent and type of stratification is largely a function of the environment of deposition, while the shape of the particles is a function of the source of the debris. 3, record 1, English, - fluvioglacial%20deposits
