| Definitionskos:definition | A large fan-shaped depositional body located at the seaward end, or mouth, of a cross-shelf trough that has been largely eroded by grounded ice-sheets. The fan is built mainly from sediments carried by the ice sheets, and especially by fast-flowing ice streams within it. Some authors restrict the term to fans built principally of glacigenic debris-flows (Excerpt from Bell et al. 2016, adapted from Bell et al. 1997. In: Dowdeswell et al., 2016). |
