Glacial Deposition
Two main groups of landforms are recognised that result from deposition by ice:
- glacial forms, deposited directly from ice
- glacifluvial forms, deposited by meltwater
Examples from both
groups of landforms are represented in Caithness. These landforms may be also be
classified in terms of their position relative to the former glacier, as
subglacial, englacial, supraglacial, marginal and proglacial landforms.
