Abrasion (geology)
Abrasion is a process of erosion which occurs when material being transported wears away at a surface over time.

Boulder
In geology, a boulder is a rock fragment with size greater than in diameter.

Boulder clay
Boulder clay, in geology, is a deposit of clay, often full of boulders, which is formed out of the ground moraine material of glaciers and ice-sheets wherever they are found.

Clastic rock
Clastic rocks are composed of fragments, or clasts, of pre-existing minerals and rock.
New!!: Till and Clastic rock · See more »
Clay
Clay is a finely-grained natural rock or soil material that combines one or more clay minerals with possible traces of quartz (SiO2), metal oxides (Al2O3, MgO etc.) and organic matter.

Continental drift
Continental drift is the movement of the Earth's continents relative to each other, thus appearing to "drift" across the ocean bed.

Deposition (geology)
Deposition is the geological process in which sediments, soil and rocks are added to a landform or land mass.
New!!: Till and Deposition (geology) · See more »
Diamictite
Diamictite (from Ancient Greek δια (dia-): through and µεικτός (meiktós): mixed) is a type of lithified sedimentary rock that consists of nonsorted to poorly sorted terrigenous sediment containing particles that range in size from clay to boulders, suspended in a matrix of mudstone or sandstone.

Diamond
Diamond is a solid form of carbon with a diamond cubic crystal structure.
New!!: Till and Diamond · See more »
Erosion
In earth science, erosion is the action of surface processes (such as water flow or wind) that remove soil, rock, or dissolved material from one location on the Earth's crust, and then transport it to another location (not to be confused with weathering which involves no movement).

Fluvial
In geography and geology, fluvial processes are associated with rivers and streams and the deposits and landforms created by them.
New!!: Till and Fluvial · See more »
Gemstone
A gemstone (also called a gem, fine gem, jewel, precious stone, or semi-precious stone) is a piece of mineral crystal which, in cut and polished form, is used to make jewelry or other adornments.

Glacial motion
Glacial motion is the motion of glaciers, which can be likened to rivers of ice.
New!!: Till and Glacial motion · See more »
Glacier
A glacier is a persistent body of dense ice that is constantly moving under its own weight; it forms where the accumulation of snow exceeds its ablation (melting and sublimation) over many years, often centuries.
New!!: Till and Glacier · See more »
Gravel
Gravel is a loose aggregation of rock fragments.
New!!: Till and Gravel · See more »
Ice sheet
An ice sheet is a mass of glacier ice that covers surrounding terrain and is greater than, this is also known as continental glacier.

Indiana
Indiana is a U.S. state located in the Midwestern and Great Lakes regions of North America.

Kimberlite
Kimberlite is an igneous rock, which sometimes contains diamonds.
New!!: Till and Kimberlite · See more »
Lithification
Lithification (from the Ancient Greek word lithos meaning 'rock' and the Latin-derived suffix -ific) is the process in which sediments compact under pressure, expel connate fluids, and gradually become solid rock.

Matrix (geology)
The matrix or groundmass of rock is the finer-grained mass of material wherein larger grains, crystals or clasts are embedded.
New!!: Till and Matrix (geology) · See more »
Ore
An ore is an occurrence of rock or sediment that contains sufficient minerals with economically important elements, typically metals, that can be economically extracted from the deposit.
New!!: Till and Ore · See more »
Outwash plain
An outwash plain, also called a sandur (plural: sandurs), sandr or sandar, is a plain formed of glacial sediments deposited by meltwater outwash at the terminus of a glacier.
New!!: Till and Outwash plain · See more »
Plucking (glaciation)
Plucking, also referred to as quarrying, is a glacial phenomenon that is responsible for the erosion and transportation of individual pieces of bedrock, especially large "joint blocks".
New!!: Till and Plucking (glaciation) · See more »
Precambrian
The Precambrian (or Pre-Cambrian, sometimes abbreviated pЄ, or Cryptozoic) is the earliest part of Earth's history, set before the current Phanerozoic Eon.
New!!: Till and Precambrian · See more »
Proglacial lake
In geology, a proglacial lake is a lake formed either by the damming action of a moraine during the retreat of a melting glacier, a glacial ice dam, or by meltwater trapped against an ice sheet due to isostatic depression of the crust around the ice.

Prospecting
Prospecting is the first stage of the geological analysis (second – exploration) of a territory.

River
A river is a natural flowing watercourse, usually freshwater, flowing towards an ocean, sea, lake or another river.
New!!: Till and River · See more »
Sand
Sand is a naturally occurring granular material composed of finely divided rock and mineral particles.
New!!: Till and Sand · See more »
Sediment
Sediment is a naturally occurring material that is broken down by processes of weathering and erosion, and is subsequently transported by the action of wind, water, or ice, and/or by the force of gravity acting on the particles.

Sedimentary rock
Sedimentary rocks are types of rock that are formed by the deposition and subsequent cementation of that material at the Earth's surface and within bodies of water.
