A kame delta (or ice-contact delta, morainic delta[1]) is a glacial landform formed by a stream of melt water flowing through or around a glacier and depositing material, known as kame (stratified sequence of sediments) deposits.

A kame, or knob, is a glacial landform, an irregularly shaped hill or mound composed of sand, gravel and till that accumulates in a depression on a retreating glacier, and is then deposited on the land surface with further melting of the glacier.

冰砾阜 （英語： kame）是指由于 冰川 消融后冰面上的沉积物沉落到底床上堆积而成的一种圆形的或不规则的小丘。 通常由具有层次的粉砂、细沙组成，表面有 冰碛 物覆盖。

2018年3月16日 · A Kame delta, also referred to as Morainic or ice-contact delta, is an icy land that is formed when melted water flows around or through a glacier and deposit materials (sediments) called kame deposits.

2023年9月1日 · Pleistocene kame deltas are known mainly from glaciomarginal environments, whereas there are fewer examples of deltas where kames formed within decaying ice sheets. In this article, we describe deposits of a Gilbert-type delta formed inside a glacial system.

2017年3月1日 · These recently identified deltas provide clear evidence for a previously unknown proglacial lake (Glacial Lake Roscommon) in this large basin located in an interlobate upland. Our first goal was to document and characterize the geomorphology of these deltas.

Kame deltas, also known as delta moraines or simply ice-contact deltas, form where glacial streams emerge from the glacier into water. As they are created in ice-contact situations kames are prone to collapse as ice retreats.

What is a kame delta? Kame deltas are irregularly shaped hills of well sorted and stratified sediment. They are a type of kame, but they form in a distinct manner (which we will discuss in a few moments). Because of their unique formation, one of their sides are much steeper than the other, which is called an ice contact slope.

The Village of Fonthill, located in the Town of Pelham, is remarkable for what is known as a Kame – Delta . It was the proglacial delta of glacial Lake Warren, which is a beach of this ancient glacial lake.
