A Periglacial MS is an area in the edge of a glacial
system, formed also because of the effect of ice, but due to freezing and
unfreezing processes (areas with temperatures ranging 0-10º)
The typical
landscapes are:
- Patterned ground, formed by symmetrical geometric shapes of ground material
- Blockfields, or areas covered by large angular blocks.
- Permafrost: soil at or below the freezing point of water 0 °C
- Padded grass: grass growing in a frozen area that increase its volume due to ice and looks like padded when unfreezing
