Review of published descriptions of drumlin fields suggests that the following conditions are important to drumlin growth :(1) compressive longitudinal and possibly extending transverse strain rates in the ice,(2) thin ice such as occurs near the glacier margin, and(3) high pore-water pressure in the subglacial sediments.  3, record 1, English, - drumlin%20field

A delta whose upper margin was built in contact with glacial ice.  4, record 5, English, - kame%20delta

Record number: 5, Textual support number: 1 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.  7, record 5, English, - kame%20delta

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.  8, record 5, English, - kame%20delta

Even on the peripheries of the Laurentide ice sheet, various segments of its component ice domes had different thermal characteristics and different response times. The pulsations of the ice margin in the Great Lakes region indicate a rapid and sensitive response to climatic change, but it will be surprising if these pulsations have any equivalents on the northern ice sheet margin adjacent to the Arctic Ocean.  2, record 10, English, - ice%20margin

The name originated because it was thought that such zones were formed by shearing at the boundary between stagnant ice and active ice.
