KAME (a form of Scandinavian comb, hill)

This article appears in Volume V15, Page 646 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: JUN-KHA
KAME (a form of Scandinavian comb, hill) , in
physical
  geography, a short
ridge
  or bunched mound of
gravel
  or sand, " tumultuously stratified," occurring in connexion with glacial deposits, having been formed at the mouths of tunnels under the ice. When the ice-
sheet
  melts, these features, formerly concealed by the
glacier
 , are revealed. They are common in the glaciated portions of the
lower
  Scottish valleys. By some authorities the
term
  "
kame
 ," or specifically " serpentine
kame
 ," is taken as synonymous with "
esker
 ," which however is preferably to be applied to the
long
  mound deposited within the ice-tunnel, not to the bunched mound at its mouth.
