Extract

The terms “ kame ” and “ esker ” have been applied in England to various mounds and ridges of sand and gravel. For some, such as those in South-east Essex either name is inappropriate, since they are not glacial deposits but are tide-formed banks of shelly sand. Most of the described English kames and eskers are clearly related to glacial formations, and their distribution and structure throw light on the later stages of British glaciation.
