	Kame delta (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		A kame delta is a glacial landform made by a stream flowing through glacial ice and depositing material (Kame - distinctive because it has been sorted by the action of the stream) upon entering a lake or pond at the end or terminus of the glacier, thus "in front" of it, a proglacial lake.
		This landform may often be observed after the glacier has melted and usually has a delta (in the sense of the Greek letter) or triangular shape.
		Often upon melting of the glacier the edges of the delta may subside as ice under it melts and glacial till may be deposited in the lateral or side area also as material is deposited from the melting glacier.

		Delta Kame: A flat-topped hill of stratified till, formed where a meltwater stream exited an icesheet and entered a marginal glacial lake, depositing sediment in a deltaic form.
		Kame: A small hill of sorted sand and gravel which may have accumulated in a crevasse or indentation in the surface of a stagnant ice-sheet through the action of meltwater.
		Kettle and Kame topography: An area of small hills of stratified till (kames) and depressions (kettles) resulting from the stagnation and decay of glacial ice.

		Kame delta deposits are also present in Fall River and are divided into three distinctive layers.
		The kame delta deposits are mostly laid down over till, but in a few localities they mantle sand and gravel deposits.
		This watershed study area is bounded by the Fall River Corporate Boundary to the north and south, the Shingle Island Watershed to the east, the Rattlesnake Watershed to the northwest, North Watuppa Watershed due west, and the Bread and Cheese Watershed to the southwest.

		Kame: A deposit, composed largely of material sorted by moving water, formed in direct contact with glacier ice.
		Kame Delta: A deposit, often triangular, formed where a glacial stream entered into a proglacial lake.
		The ice-contact margin of the kame delta is often slumped and mixed with till.

		Kames are often associated with (A metal pot for stewing or boiling; usually has a lid) kettles, and this is referred to as kame and kettle topography.
		Kames are sometimes compared to (A mound of glacial drift) drumlins, but their formation is distinctively different.
		A drumlin is not originally shaped by meltwater, but by the ice itself and has a quite regular shape.

		The evidence for this is the abundance of kames and kettles along the length of the range.
		The kames are so numerous that some are partially overlapping, perhaps representing supra-glacial ponds that initially were separate and then melted the intervening ice away before being set down into a composite pile on the land.
		But unlike kames, which formed on top of or at the perimeter (kame deltas or kame terraces) of the ice sheet, eskers formed in tunnels through the ice that were cut by meltwater.

	Geologic and Geomorphic Implications for Gravel Supply
		Andesite, which constitutes from 10 to 30 percent of gravel in deltas of King County and is common in river valleys draining the Cascade volcanoes, reacts with alkali mortar and expands (2).
		Of these three types of deposits, the glacial outwash deltas are the most important gravel resource because of their volume and composition of well-sorted, clean gravels with only minor silty lenses.
		The kame and delta deposits form prominent benches at elevations up to about 100 m along the sides of major valleys within the glaciated region.

		KAME: Irregular or conical hillocks composed chiefly of sand and gravel; formed by deposition of meltwater-transported sediments in contact with (against, within, or upon) stagnant glacier ice; a type of glaciofluvial deposit.
		KAME DELTA: A delta of sand and gravel constructed in contact with (against or on top of) glacier ice; commonly a conspicuous terrace-like landform bounded by a steep ice-contact face or by hummocky collapsed ground; a type of glaciofluvial deposit.
		KAME TERRACE: A terrace of drift, chiefly sand and gravel, deposited by meltwater in a depression between a melting glacier and the adjacent valley side, and left as a terrace when the glacier melted; the terrace is commonly irregular or fragmentary, and shows topographic and stratigraphic evidence of collapse; a type of glaciofluvial deposit.

	Glacial Geomorphology of Long Island (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Features such as moraines, kames, kame deltas, kettles, tunnel valleys, and outwash channels are revealed with unprecedented clarity, allowing for the identity and relative chronology of these features to be re-examined.
		Deposition of the kame deltas seen in western Long Island must have occurred during this recession, as the kame deltas originate at a position midway between the two moraines but cross-cut the Ronkonkoma Moraine.
		The presence of kame deltas projecting south of the Ronkonkoma Moraine also implies the impounding of a body of standing lake water south of the Ronkonkoma Moraine, which itself implies the existence of a moraine south of the present shoreline of Long Island to function as a dam.

		This relatively straight or non-lobate border is expectable because there were proglacial lakes imponded in front of the ice in both of the valleys that would float and thus prevent a thin, elongate ice lobe from forming.
		In the Hessler Fork valley the top of the now eroded kame is within 30 feet (1580 feet elevation) of the “dry valley” meltwater sluiceway at the south end of the valley (1610 feet elevation).
		That suggests that the Kame in Hessler Branch valley is a kame delta built into Glacial Lake Hessler and graded to the outlet to the south.

		The most notable feature in the park is a camelback kame with a terrace pattern and borrow pit etched into the side of the kame.
		Geologists believe that the camelback kame and some of the smaller ones in Glacial Park formed at the leading edge of the glacier as a delta kame.
		If the kames had formed beneath the glacier due to sediment deposition in crevasses or moulins rather than as part of a delta, the brunt force of repeated jokulhlaups down the valley would have destroyed them (see Photo, Sleeth, 2000).

		A kame is composed of stratified sediment deposited by glacial meltwater into either a periglacial lake ("kame delta") or into a supraglacial lake.

		The angle of the deltaic bedding and the thickness of the ground moraine are exaggerated in this figure.

		The deposits are stratified and may occur in the form of outwash plains, valley trains, deltas, kames, eskers, and kame terraces.
		The inclined or dipping layers of fine and coarse sand (visible on left part of photo) are called the foreset beds or delta slope.
		The foreset beds were deposited into a glacial lake, the contact of the topset and foreset beds (delta plain/delta slope) marks the former water level of the lake.
