ABSTRACT
The use of dynamic-kinetic analysis of Pleistocene and older soft rocks, combined with structural methods such as those used in hard rock geology, may be applied to the interpretion of bedding sequences. Shear planes can be used for determining the contemporary depositional conditions, as well as for orientating and interpreting other structural and decoding bedding tectonic elements. The area investigated, which is north of the Pomeranian ice margin, is characterised by recessional moraines which mark minor marginal positions of the retreating ice. By applying tectonic methods of investigation to the various outcrops of soft rock north of the Pomeranian ice margin, the applicability and expressiveness of these methods for reconstructing the flow directions of the ice by means of glacitectonic elements (shear planes, joints, axes of elongate pebbles, folds, deformations of sediment bodies, faults, etc.), glacial features (bedding planes and others) and morphological features (relief) has been demonstrated.
