  • Examples:
    1. Another objection to the tunnel-valley interpretation comes from a comparison with eskers. The esker rivers and the tunnel-channel rivers of Wisconsin therefore seem to have been the result of significantly different meltwater regimes.

    2. Another unusual ice-contact feature is an esker, a long, narrow, steep-sided ridge of glaciofluvial sand and gravel inhabiting a glaciated area. Eskers tend to follow valleys and lowlands, carefully picking a course between obstacles.

    3. The multiple deltas must have formed sequentially, which led Thompson (1982) to conclude that the eskers were built in successive segments.
