What is Outwash plain?
[[File:Skeiðarársandur, Iceland.jpg|thumb|right|260px|An outwash plain in Iceland.]] An '''outwash plain''' is a [[plain]] made by a melting [[glacier]]. As the glacier moves, it picks up dirt and rocks. When the glacier melts, the dirt and rocks are left behind. The smaller dirt and rocks are carried further by the water the melting glacier makes. This makes the outwash plain very flat and smooth. {{geo-stub}} [[Category:Landforms]]
