Cliff in dislocated glacial deposits.

Cliff in dislocated glacial deposits. Surface-forming stages in late- and post-glacial period. III. Ground moraine, deposited discordantly over dislocated meltwater deposits. IV. Deflation-plain, the result of removal of fine-grained moraine components by the alnd surface and inducing the formation of a humification horizon over stones. VI. Blown sand covering other deposits. D2. Stones. E. Humus horizon. F. Blown sand. In this substratum the present cliff was formed by the action of the sea and atmospheric forces. Source: Atlas of Denmark.

Cliff in dislocated glacial deposits.

Cliff in dislocated glacial deposits. Present stage. 1. Precipice in continuous clay secions. 2. Screes. 3. Gullies between clay walls formed by the slipping sand beds, erosion of running water and wind action. 4. Beach, low tide. 5. Slide plane in screes caused by wave action. 6. Rain gulley. 7. Cone deposited sand. 8. Accumulation of blawn sand above gully. 9. Dune landscape. 10. Ridge formation through intersection of clay with surface. B-G, see slides 60-62. Source: Atlas of Denmark.
