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 />
