Ideas in this flowchart

  • Characteristics of glacial and related deposits
  • Glacial till contains mixed loamy material and rock fragments.
  • Glacial outwash consists mainly of sorted sands and gravels and may have low water- and nutrient-holding capacity.
  • Alluvium occurs near rivers and can vary greatly over short distances.
  • Lacustrine deposits are usually fine-textured, flat, and wet.
  • Loess is fertile but highly erodible.
  • Residuum reflects the underlying bedrock.
  • Organic accumulations can subside after drainage and decomposition.

"Glacial till commonly contains mixed loamy material and rock fragments, while glacial outwash is dominated by sorted sands and gravels with potentially low water and nutrient holding capacity. Alluvium occurs near rivers and may vary greatly over short distances, while lacustrine deposits are usually fine-textured, flat, and wet. Loess is fertile but highly erodible, residuum reflects the underlying bedrock, and organic accumulations can subside after drainage and decomposition."
