It was the site of a large waterfall formed by melting glacial ice at the end of the last Ice Age; the plunge basin at the base of the old falls is now a small lake. James Macfarlane described the ...
The York and Escrick glacial moraines swing north and merge north of Wetherby to cover the magnesian limestone with glacial deposits. In the Bedale area and northwards, these deposits are so extensive as to mask the limestone topography. South of Wetherby there is only a thin layer of glacial deposits overlying the limestone.
The rock is a glacial erratic estimated to weigh 1,800 short tons (1,600 t) and has a 30-foot (9.1 m) overhang. It is 55 feet (17 m) high and 35 feet (11 m) wide. [1] It was deposited by glacial action between 20,000 and 11,000 years ago.
Fluvio-glacial processes can occur on the surface and within the glacier. The deposits that happen within the glacier are revealed after the entire glacier melts or partially retreats. Fluvio-glacial landforms and erosional surfaces include: outwash plains, kames, kame terraces, kettle holes, eskers, varves, and proglacial lakes. [4]

When retirement comes calling, most people in New York often seek greener, warmer and less congested pastures. But John P., a 68-year-old former software executive, took the opposite approach.
Beneath the surficial deposits are lake-bottom silt and clay, which overlie till and shale bedrock. [9] A small rill caused by the lake's drainage created Patroon Creek, Sand Creek, Lisha Kill, Shaker Creek, Delphus Kill and the Salt Kill in the town of Colonie, New York. [11]
