young glacial areas - Opis:
- The young glacial landscape of the nonhern Europe features numerous post-glacial structures, including drainless relief depressions which are usually filled with ater and are called ponds or kettle holes. Their prestence in Western Pomerania is associated mainly with a zonal arrangement of glacial forms related 10 the retreating icesheet front. Distribution of kettle holes was analysed in a region where their density is highly variable. The study covered mainly the Wełtyń Plateau, the Myślibórz. Lakeland, and the northern part of the Gorzów Plateau. About 11 thousand kettle holes smaller than 1.0 ha, marked on the late 19th century 1:25,000 topographic maps, were included in the analysis. The analysis of the kettle hole distribution, conducted with the aid of GIS software and spatial analysis statistics, demonstrates that the distribution of kettle hole dusters, the shape of the surrounding vegetation patches, and the kettle hole duster alingment may be important components of the retreat reconstruction. The elements mentioned, when factored in the analysis, may contribute to, i.a., understanding of the direction of the ice movement and the sequence of the icesheet front ranges.
