	Colorado Geology Overview
		Reinvigorated streams removed mass and incised channels to sculpt the uplands of the Rockies and the Colorado Plateau and eventually the range-front basins as well.
		Glaciers and their outwash streams deeply eroded the higher Laramide uplifts into their present dramatic topography but largely spared the topographically lower Colorado Plateau.
		The devastating glaciations that would come next, primarily in Pleistocene time, around 1.8 Ma (23:59:25 h), took the project of exhuming the Rockies to new highs and new lows.

	Wikipedia: Ice age
		The idea that, in the past, glaciers had been far more extensive was folk knowledge in some alpine regions of Europe (Imbrie and Imbrie, p25, quote a woodcutter telling de Charpentier of the former extent of the Swiss Grimsel glacier).
		Other rivers were dammed and diverted to new channels, such as the Niagara, which formed a dramatic waterfall and gorge, when the waterflow encountered a limestone escarpment.
		The end of the last glaciation also corresponds quite closely to the development of permanent human settlements and agriculture, and it is possible that there is a connection between the two events.

		The word "geology" was first used by Jean-André Deluc in the year 1778 and introduced as a fixed term by Horace-Bénédict de Saussure in the year 1779.
		In geology, when an igneous intrusion cuts across a formation of sedimentary rock, it can be determined that the igneous intrusion is younger than the sedimentary rock.
		The principle becomes quite complex, however, given the uncertainties of fossilisation, the localisation of fossil types due to lateral changes in habitat (facies change in sedimentary strata), and that not all fossils may be found globally at the same time.

	The Ultimate Ice age Dog Breeds Information Guide and Reference
		An ice age is a period of long-term downturn in the temperature of Earth's climate, resulting in an expansion of the continental ice sheets, polar ice sheets and mountain glaciers ("glaciation").
		The colder periods are called 'glacial periods', the warmer periods 'interglacials', such as the Eemian interglacial era.
		The end of the last glacial also corresponds quite closely to the development of permanent human settlements and agriculture, and it is possible that there is a connection between the two events.

	Glacial geology of the Genesee River - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Genesee River flows northward from its source in northern Pennsylvania to enter Lake Ontario at Rochester, New York.
		A lobe of the last glacier (Wisconsonian) pushed southward almost to the Pennsylvania line, dramatically reshaping the drainage patterns of central and western New York.
		A lake was formed with varve clay sediments visible along the valley sides in many spots, but the lake drained as the river found a way to cut a new valley northeastward from Portageville a little west of the original valley, then drop back into the old valley at Mount Morris.

		Geology (from Greek γη- (ge-,"the earth") and λογος (logos, "word", "reason")) is the science and study of the earth, its make-up, structure, physicalproperties, history, and the processes that shape it.
		Geology has helped established that the earth is about 4.5 billion years old, and that tectonic plates move over a viscous mantle to form the earth'scrust.
		Subdisciplines within geology proper include structuralgeology, sedimentology and stratigraphy, mineralogy (study of minerals), petrology (study of rocks), geomorphology (study of landforms), seismology (also afield in geophysics) and volcanology (the study of volcanoes).

	Ice age - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The complex pattern of changes in Earth's orbit and the change of albedo may influence the occurrence of glacial and interglacial phases — this was first explained by the theory of Milutin Milanković.
		While Milanković forcing predicts that cyclic changes in the Earth's orbital parameters can be expressed in the glaciation record, additional explanations are necessary to explain which cycles are observed to be most important in the timing of glacial/interglacial periods.
		In particular, during the last 800,000 years, the dominant inter/glacial oscillation has been 100,000 years, which corresponds to changes in Earth's eccentricity and orbital inclination, and yet is by far the weakest of the three frequencies predicted by Milanković.

		Glacial valleys, which are usually U- rather than V-shaped, were formed tens of thousands of years ago (most likely during the last Ice Age) by the massive erosive power of glaciers.
		Hollows may be formed by river valleys such as Mansfield Hollow or they may be relatively dry clefts with a notch like characteristic in that they have a height of land and consequent water divide in their bases.
		glacial erratic In between ice ages, there are multi-million year periods of more temperate climate, but also within the ice ages (or at least within the last one), temperate and severe periods occur.

		Chunks of ice, detached from the edge of the glacier often foundered in the shallow water and were partially buried by rock debris.
		Streams such as the Genesee River, draining higher land south of Rochester, flowed into another glacial lake that was located between the ice front and the Ridge Road.
		The Genesee River, flowing into this lake carrying large amounts of silt from the area to the south, formed a delta.

	Bedrock
		These landforms were created either directly from debris carried by the ice sheet, from sediment carried in meltwater leaving the glacier, or by sediment which filled the lakes that formed in front of the retreating glacier.
		Glacial till is the predominant material in a north-south band through central Perinton as well as in the northeast corner and along the town's eastern border south of the Erie Canal.
		The buried valley of the pre-glacial Genesee River is a major aquifer in the region.

	TIMELINE: GEOLOGY: PRE-HISTORIC
		The glacial till (soil left by the glaciers) in the Genesee Valley is between 200 to 300 feet deep.
		This means that the hills were not formed by the furthest advance of the glacier, but by the melt water carrying sand and/or gravel off the ice and depositing it in well sorted deposits.
		Debris and gravel would collect along the beds of these rivers and when the glacier finally melts, this debris is dropped to the earth forming long snake-like piles called eskers.

		In geology and earth science, a plateau (alternatively spelt in a false French spelling plâteau, the real spelling in French being plateau) is an area of highland, usually consisting of relatively flat open country if the uplift was recent in geologic history.
		Subsequently, during the same or a later glacial, the margins of the glacial till plain are removed by glaciers, leaving the plateau into which erosion by water incises valleys.
		Glaciers can scrape down a slope and break up rock and then transport it, leaving moraines, drumlins, and glacial erratics in its wake typically at the terminus or during glacial retreat.

		- In geology, precipitation is the sum of runoff, infiltration, and evapotranspiration.
		Run-off, composed of a mixture of water and soil along with any other organic or inorganic substances that may exist in the land, is the product of precipitation, snowmelt, over-irrigation, or other water coming in contact with the earth and carrying matter to streams, rivers, lakes, and other surface water bodies.
		In some cases it is spoken not about the runoff of the water, but of the carried substances, e.g., fertilizer runoff, when the latter ones are the major concern of the runoff.

	Ice Age
		During the last few million years, there have been many glacial periods, occurring initially at 40,000-year frequency but more recently at 100,000-year frequencies.
		There were extensive polar ice caps at intervals from 350 to 260 million years ago, during the Carboniferous and early Permian Periods.
		For example, an article in Nature [2] argues that the current interglacial might be most analogous to a previous interglacial that lasted 28,000 years.

		Mounds of glacial debris called drumlins have a characteristic steep north slope and gentle south slope, and are common in the northern Finger Lakes region.
		The preglacial Genesee River once had two branches that converged in Livingston County and flowed north to join the east-west flowing Ontarian River, whose valley eventually became the Lake Ontario basin.
		Twelve thousand years ago, the Genesee River's northward trek was blocked by the Valley Heads moraine near Portageville, Allegany County, and forced over the rocky Letchworth Plateau, beginning an erosional process that would create the two gorges and broad valley now found in Letchworth State Park.

		This was a rather long glaciation episode that was marked by several glacial advances and retreats (which were caused by climate fluctuations in the Pleistocene).
		This range consists of linear but irregular kame deposits that extend approximately four miles from Brighton, adjoining Rochester on the southeast, westward of the Genesee River.) The great thickness of silts and clays was revealed by excavations for building the University of Rochester River Campus and the Strong Memorial Hospital.
		However, the sediment carried by these streams gradually filled the valley cut by pre-glacial Genesee, and the Genesee river had to cut a new path.

		The mile-thick continental glacier began to melt faster than it was sliding south, and the glacier's leading edge began to recede slowly north.
		Along the glacier's south edge, huge rivers of melting icewater swept away soil, sand and debris, and polished exposed shelves of bedrock into rounded, smooth landforms.
		As the melting glacier's front edge receded northward, new channels were uncovered for meltwaters to flow eastward along the ice front—each at a successively lower altitude.
