 Geologic History of Long Island Sound
Long Island Sound occupies a lowland that was initially carved into the coastal-plain by rivers, and subsequently glacially modified.
The southernmost extent of the Wisconsinan glacier is marked along the middle of Long Island by piles of glacial debris called a "terminal moraine." Present evidence suggests that the glacier modified but did not entirely alter the pre-Wisconsinan configuration of the Long Island Sound basin.
The fairly shallow depth (average 20 meters or 64 feet) of today's Long Island Sound is attributable to the fact that Lake Connecticut was nearly filled in by clay sediments brought southward by the glacier.
