QuFormLineType

Quaternary geological linear elements of form Note: Line themes on quaternary geological maps. Show features created during the deglaciation river/stream features, beach features or landslide features, etc. For several of the line symbols, one must take into consideration the direction of digitalization to get the symbol correct.

Valid

Ridge of sorted sediment formed by wave action along the shore of a glacier-dammed lake
43

Valid

Border of colluvial, debris flow or snow avalanche fan. Not linked to any one specific process.

Valid

Cable
931

Valid

Edge of a channel, delimiting its width
116

Valid

Channel, unspecified (marine)
922

Valid

Channel on the seabed, origin unspecified
114

Valid

Coral reef
924

Valid

Narrow depression in seabed formed by subsidence of the sediments due to faulting, discharge of gas from dissolution of gas hydrates, or weakened slope stability after a landslide.
926

Valid

Moraine ridge formed subglacially by sqeezing of till into basal crevasses. Related to stagnant ice.
7

Valid

Channel on the seabed formed by bottom currents
921

Valid

Cutting in surficial sediments (marine)
501

Valid

Channel formed by one or several debris flows
307

Valid

A small ridge deposited along the margin of a debris flow track
312

Valid

Wind-eroded scour in unconsolidated sediment. Can be several meters in width/depth.
352

Valid

Border of a distinct mound or ridge in surficial sediment
353

Valid

Streamlined ridge in sediment and/or bedrock, oriented parallel to the ice-flow direction. If sediment is accumulated on the lee side of a bedrock knoll, the total form might be termed crag-and-tail.
1

Valid

Irregular drumlin or crudely streamlined feature in sediment and/or bedrock, oriented parallel to the ice-flow direction. If sediment is accumulated on the lee side of a bedrock knoll, the total form might be termed crag-and-tail.
2

Valid

Break in topography formed by stream/river erosion
101

Valid

Edge in unconsolidated deposits of uncertain origin (f.ex. due to a landslide, current or a combination of processes)
927

Valid

Elongate sinuous ridge of glaciofluvial sediment deposited in ice-walled meltwater channels or sub-glacial tunnels. If the ridge-shaped glaciofluvial deposit is large enough to form a figure on the map, then the colour for glaciofluvial deposits is used to indicate the extent, and the esker symbol to indicate the ridge shape.
12

Valid

Fan shaped deposit, mainly formed by flowing water
106

Valid

A fracture zone/plane where a measurable/visual displacement of the bedrock have occurred. The direction of the displacement between the fault blocks defines the type of faulting, among which are normal-, reverse-, oblique-, and transverse faulting.
925

Valid

Erosional channel formed by a high fluvial discharge.
103

Valid

Fluvial/glaciofluvial gorge formed in bedrock.
105

Valid

Inactive fluvial channel
102

Valid

Glaciofluvial channel outlet/Overflow pass
23

Valid

Channel formed by glaciofluvial erosion
21

Valid

Scarp eroded by glacial meltwater
13

Valid

Fan shaped deposit, mainly formed by glacial melt water
47

Valid

Dry bedrock gorge formed by glacial meltwater
26

Valid

Bedrock stripped of surficial deposits by glacial meltwater
27

Valid

Steep slope formed where a glacier has removed a slab of the subsurface
53

Valid

Hill- or ridge-shaped form created by the advancing glacier that scoops-up and displaces large slabs of the subsurface. Located distally to glacially eroded hole.
911

Valid

Hole (depression) formed by the advancing glacier that scoops-up and displaces large slabs of the subsurface
913

Valid

Depression in surficial sediment formed by the grounding of an iceberg
46

Valid

Wedge-shaped ridge that is formed at the front of a glacier during periods of standstill or minor advances of a glacier.
970

Valid

Elongated scour formed by the movement of a grounded iceberg in the sea or a lake
44

Valid

Steep slope in unconsolidated sediments, previously buttressed by a glacier margin
41

Valid

Glaciofluvial channel formed along a glacier margin (left side).
20

Valid

Glaciofluvial channel formed along a glacier margin (right side).
22

Valid

Irregular drumlin or crudely streamlined feature in sediment and/or bedrock, oriented parallel to the ice-flow direction. If sediment is accumulated on the lee side of a bedrock knoll, the total form might be termed crag-and-tail.
3

Valid

Incised fluvial channel, active
109

Valid

Incised fluvial channel, seasonally active
110

Valid

Linear escarpment. Interpreted as a post-glacial fault, based on documented deformation, offset or failure of glacial or postglacial sediment.
601

Valid

Front of submarine landslide. Shows outer margin of a submarine landslide.
310

Valid

The back wall of a landslide; formed by different landslide processes in both bedrock and unconsolidated sediment.
306

Valid

Large fluvial/glaciofluvial gorge (canyon) formed in bedrock (left side)
