Summary
The superficial deposits occurring within the map-area are described and classified according to their genesis. In the mountains till and organic deposits dominate. In the lowland areas glaciofluvial and glaciomarine sediments were deposited at a sea-level situated c. 180 m above the present one. During the shoreline displacement these sediments were strongly influenced by fluvial erosion and slides. The ice recession vas interrupted by a glacial advance during the first half of the Younger Dryas glacial advance ca be traced less continuously from the lakes Store Dragstsjøen - Foldsjøen towards Frigården, Lånke, and Hegra in the Stjørdal valley. Radiocarbon datings from Frosta, Levanger and Verdal indicate that these marginal deposits were formed during late Younger Dryas. Short accounts are given on the potential for different utilization of the superficial deposits.
