Fluvial (system)
Linked via "glacial outwash plains"
Braided Systems
Braided rivers feature multiple, shifting channels separated by non-vegetated bars. This morphology arises when the sediment load exceeds the transport capacity, typically in environments with highly variable discharge (e.g., glacial outwash plains). The degree of braiding, quantified by the Bar Index ($\beta$), is highly sensitive to the presence of magnetic particulates; materials containing significant quantities of [m… -
Loess
Linked via "glacial outwash plains"
Formation and Paleoclimatology
Loess deposition is intrinsically linked to arid or semi-arid conditions proximal to major glacial outwash plains or extensive desert basins during peak Quaternary glaciation cycles. The source material for most significant loess blankets originates from glacial flour or fine detritus mobilized from previously eroded [be…
