Old and Young Drift are geographic names given to the morainic landscapes that were formed in Central Europe; the Old Drift during the older ice ages and the Young Drift during the latest glaciations – the Weichselian in North Germany and the Würm in the Alps. Their landforms are quite different. Areas of Old Drift have been heavily flattened and transformed as a result of geomorphic processes such as denudation and erosion, whilst areas of Young Drift have largely retained their original shape. Whilst the majority of Old Drift moraines were formed during the Saale glaciation about 130,000 to 140,000 years ago, the Young Drift moraines in Central Europe are only about 15,000 to 20,000 years old. The terms Old and Young Drift are used for all elements of the glacial series even though the m

  • Die Begriffe Altmoräne und Jungmoräne kennzeichnen unterschiedlich alte Landschaftsformen in ehemals vergletscherten Gebieten Mitteleuropas. Während die meisten heute noch sichtbaren Altmoränen in der Saaleeiszeit bzw. Riß-Kaltzeit vor rund 130.000 bis 140.000 Jahren gebildet wurden, oder noch viel älter sind und bis in die Günz-Kaltzeit (600.000 bis 800.000 Jahre alt) zurückgehen, sind die Jungmoränenlandschaften in Mitteleuropa deutlich jünger und meist rund 15.000 bis 20.000 Jahre alt, jedenfalls nicht älter als etwa 100.000 Jahre. Letztere entstanden in der Weichseleiszeit bzw. im alpinen Vergletscherungsgebiet in der Würmeiszeit. Der Begriff Alt- und Jungmoräne wird auf alle Elemente der glazialen Serie übertragen, auch wenn die Schmelzwasserablagerungen und -formen streng genommen keine Moränen darstellen. (de)
