Here are the definitions:

  • Spits: A spit is an extended stretch of beach material that projects out to the sea/ocean and is joined to the mainland at one end.

  • Baymouth Bars: A baymouth bar is a depositional feature that closes off a bay, forming a lagoon behind it.

  • Barrier Islands: Barrier islands are coastal landforms and a type of island; they are coastal landforms and a type of island formed by wave and tidal action parallel to the mainland coast.

  • Moraines: Moraines are accumulations of debris previously carried by a glacier.

  • Glaciers: A glacier is a persistent body of dense ice that is constantly moving under its own weight.

  • Kettle Lake: A kettle lake is a shallow, sediment-filled body of water formed by retreating glaciers or draining floodwaters.

  • Drumlin: A drumlin is an elongated hill in the shape of an inverted spoon or half-buried egg formed by glacial ice acting on underlying unconsolidated till or ground moraine.

  • Square Outlaw Plains: This term appears to be non-standard and may contain an error as it's not widely recognized in geomorphology. Please verify the exact term.

  • Till Plains: A till plain is an extensive flat plain of unsorted glacial deposits.

  • Tilt: In geology, tilt refers to the angle at which rock layers or other planar features are inclined from the horizontal.

  • Terminal Moraine: A terminal moraine is a moraine deposited at the point of furthest advance of a glacier or ice sheet.

  • Recessional Moraine: Recessional moraines are moraines that form during pauses in the retreat of a glacier.

  • Marine: This generally refers to anything related to the ocean.

  • Striations: Glacial striations are scratches or gouges cut into bedrock by glacial abrasion.

  • Erratic: An erratic is a boulder or rock transported and deposited by a glacier having a lithology different than the bedrock upon which it rests.

  • Till: Till is unsorted glacial sediment.

  • Outwash: Outwash is glacial sediment deposited by meltwater streams.

  • Kame Terrace: A kame terrace is a flat-topped deposit of sediment that forms between a glacier and a
