This map shows what glaciers left behind in the Kalamazoo area. The material carried by the ice is deposited whenever the ice melts. These glacial deposits are of two l types, till and outwash. Glacial till is material deposited directly by the ice and is unsorted and unstratified. It is a mixture of all shapes and sizes of rock.
Moraine is till deposits which are made up of hills and depressions.
Many times the depressions contain small lakes or ponds. Outwash is the the sorted and stratified material laid down by glacial meltwaters.
