Till plains are an extensive flat plain of glacial till that forms when a sheet of ice becomes detached from the main body of a glacier and melts in place, depositing the sediments it carried. Ground moraines are formed with melts out of the glacier in irregular heaps, forming rolling hills. Till plains are common in areas such as the Midwestern United States, due to multiple glaciation events that occurred in the Holocene epoch. During this period, the Laurentide Ice Sheet advanced and retreated during the Pleistocene epoch. Till plains created by the Wisconsin glaciation cover much of the Midwest, including North Dakota, South Dakota, Indiana, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois, and northern Ohio (see Glacial till plains (Ohio)).

  • Un pianoro di till (in inglese till plain) è una estensione pianeggiante di till glaciale che si forma quando un ammasso di ghiaccio si distacca dal corpo principale di un ghiacciaio e fonde sul luogo depositando i sedimenti che trasportava. Un pianoro di till con topografia irregolare viene riferito come morena terrestre. (it)
