Custom Soil Resource Report <br />Kame <br />A low mound, knob, hummock, or short irregular ridge composed of stratified sand <br />and gravel deposited by a subglacial stream as a fan or delta at the margin of a <br />melting glacier; by a supraglacial stream in a low place or hole on the surface of <br />the glacier; or as a ponded deposit on the surface or at the margin of stagnant ice. <br />Karst (topography) <br />A kind of topography that formed in limestone, gypsum, or other soluble rocks by <br />dissolution and that is characterized by closed depressions, sinkholes, caves, and <br />underground drainage. <br />Knoll <br />A small, low, rounded hill rising above adjacent landforms. <br />Ksat <br />See Saturated hydraulic conductivity. <br />Lacustrine deposit <br />Material deposited in lake water and exposed when the water level is lowered or <br />the elevation of the land is raised. <br />Lake plain <br />A nearly level surface marking the floor of an extinct lake filled by well sorted, <br />generally fine textured, stratified deposits, commonly containing varves. <br />Lake terrace <br />A narrow shelf, partly cut and partly built, produced along a Lakeshore in front of <br />a scarp line of low cliffs and later exposed when the water level falls. <br />Landfill (map symbol) <br />An area of accumulated waste products of human habitation, either above or <br />below natural ground level. <br />Landslide <br />A general, encompassing term for most types of mass movement landforms and <br />processes involving the downslope transport and outward deposition of soil and <br />rock materials caused by gravitational forces; the movement may or may not <br />involve saturated materials. The speed and distance of movement, as well as the <br />amount of soil and rock material, vary greatly. <br />Large stones <br />Rock fragments 3 inches (7.6 centimeters) or more across. Large stones <br />adversely affect the specified use of the soil. <br />Lava flow (map symbol) <br />A solidified, commonly lobate body of rock formed through lateral, surface <br />outpouring of molten lava from a vent or fissure. <br />38 <br />
