Summary
Geologic map of Cape Cod (generalized from detailed mapping). The distribution of the glacial deposits on Cape Cod is shown by the generalized geologic map. Most of the drift has been fashioned into either moraines or outwash plains. Both features mark positions of the ice front. Moraines are ridges of drift formed by moving ice. Most moraines are formed when the ice front remains more or less in the same place because advance of the glacier is balanced by melting along the ice front.
