Erosion of the shore under attack of waves is sufficiently rapid at many places around Long Island Sound to be a matter of concern in the management of shoreside property. The nature of the materials which constitute the Long Island Sound shoreline is summarized in Table II. Silt-clay material that may be released upon erosion is present in the stratified drift, the interglacial deposits, and end moraines. End moraines account for only 17% of the erodible shoreline and this percentage has... 

Karnes are mounds of stratified drift that originate as small deltas or fans built against the snout of a glacier where a tunnel in the ice, along which melt water travels, emerges (Fig. 3.30). 

Deposits of stratified drift often are subdivided into two categories, namely, those that develop in contact with ice, namely, ice contact deposits, and those that accumulate beyond the limits of ice, forming in streams, lakes or seas, that is, proglacial deposits.
