glacial environment

• Glacial environments are found in arctic and mountainous regions, where temperatures are close to zero.
• Striated bedrock is scratches on the rock the glacier moves over.
• Laminated deposits from varves are very fine particles deposited in winter under frozen water, because there is no movement of water.
• The material the glacier deposits is poorly sorted with angular clasts.
• Fluvio-glacial is the melt water from the glacier becoming a stream/river, depositing the small sediment, and asymmetrical ripple marks can be seen as well as cross bedding.
