Hence, the micromorphology suggests that the quartz grains of the studied<br />
sediments have an unexpectedly heterogeneous origin of aeolian and fluvial<br />
processes, as well as the anticipated glacial origin. The content of these grains<br />
groups varies for the sediments of different origin. The heavy minerals and<br />
magnetic data provide information about provenance differences and reflect the<br />
influence of the Scandinavian sources but not the transport processes as surface<br />
micromorphology data.<br />
The data obtained characterize the historian-genetic sequence of events of<br />
glacial morpholithogenesis that can be considered as a certain trend of the change<br />
in properties of sediments of different origin. These sediments (predominantly<br />
cover loams on the top surfaces) are the parent rocks for soils and can provide<br />
important information for palaeoenvironmental reconstructions.<br />
