Glacial striae and ice-push deformation as indicators of glacial directional movement in northeastern Kansas

There are several indicators of directional properties in sedimentary beds that geologists use including intensity and size, which decrease away from the source; roundness, which increases from source; and cross-beds dip away from the source. Ice-push features likewise give a direction of origin, but glacial striae ar a directio al property that does not indicate unique direction or an origin. In the situation of glacial striae in Kansas, however, the direction can be safely determined k owi g from where the glaciers came.
