Glacial landforms; below a glacier/ice-sheet. Erosion takes place here, occurring at micro-scales or meso-scales.
4 of 7
Marginal
Glacial landforms; at the sides of a glacier/ice-sheet. Weathering and deposition occurs here.
5 of 7
Proglacial
Glacial landforms; in front of or immediately beyond the margin of a glacier/ice sheet. Fluvioglacial processes operate here: erosion, transportation, deposition.
6 of 7
Periglacial
Glacial landforms; on the edge of ice sheets and glaciers. They can be extensive and processes are associated with frost, ice, snow and even meltwater, but not glaciers. They create a range of landforms.
