Kettle Lake Geology. Distorted or branching depressions may result. Kettle lakes are a landscape feature characteristic of glacial terrain. Kettle, in geology, depression in a glacial outwash drift made by the melting of a detached mass of glacial ice that became wholly or partly buried. The occurrence of these stranded ice masses is thought to be the result of gradual Eventually, it becomes wholly or partially buried in sediment and slowly melts, leaving behind a. Kettles form when a block of stagnant ice (a serac) detaches from the glacier. The grey till is visible in the side view of the cross section. In this article, i will be discussing one of the most dramatic traces left behind by the presence of these glaciers—beautiful crenellated lakes called kettle lakes. In the picture below, you can see a classic example of a kettle lake located in southern ontario within the oak ridges moraine. Notice that kettles can also form on elevated Most kettles are circular in shape because melting blocks of ice tend to become rounded; When glaciers that covered the northern great plains melted, the rock.
