eskerA winding ridge of stratified drift . Forms in a glacial tunnel and, when ice melts, stands as ridge up to 15 m high and kilometers in length.

esker"deposit left by a glacial stream," 1852, from Irish eiscir "ridge of gravel."

eskerridge formed by a stream under a glacier.

eskern. A ridge of glacial sediment deposited by a stream flowing in and under a melting glacier.

5 |
eskerlong rope and ridge deposits left by glacial melting.
|
6 |
eskera low, winding ridge of fluvioglacial deposits which have been laid within sub-glacial channels, therefore found running along the floor of glacial valleys.
|
7 |
eskerA long ridge of sand and gravel deposited in a river valley by a stream flowing beneath an ice sheet.
|
8 |
esker(n) (geology) a long winding ridge of post glacial gravel and other sediment; deposited by meltwater from glaciers or ice sheets

9 |
eskerA ridge of glacial sediment deposited by a stream flowing in and under a melting glacier.
|
10 |
eskerA long ridge of material deposited from meltwater streams running subglacially, roughly parallel to the direction of ice flow.
|
11 |
eskerA ridge-shaped hill, often associated with rich aggregate deposits.
|
12 |
eskerA narrow, winding ridge made of gravel usually formed by streams flowing on a glacier or in a tunnel below the glacier or ice sheet.
|
13 |
eskerAn elongated sinuous ridge or series of mounds, composed internally of stratified or semi-stratified sand and gravel (may have minor amounts of diamicton, silt, or clay), produced by subglacial, engla [..]
|
14 |
eskerA narrow long ridge like form comprised mainly of gravel and sand. These stratified glacio-fluvial deposits were formed in a stream bed flowing inside the ice of a glacier generally at the glacier bottom. The glacio- fluvial deposits were then left in place after the ice melted.
