Quantitative characteristics of Lithuania glacial relief
Pages 9-13
Abstract
When the Pleistocene inland ice retreated from the territory of Lithuania, various glacial, stadial and phasal formations were left behind, which \vere modified by other geomorphic processes. Distinct differences can be observed concerning gkcier margin formations where corner mo-rainic tracts and connecting morainic arcs can be distinguished. Morphological differences ate characterised by the following three parameters: height of landform, length and angle of slopes. Based on these parameters genetic and morphological differences of the marginal landforms can be specified. The paper analyzes the morphometry of Lithuanian landscapes and emphasizes the quantitative characteristics of glacial features of various age.
