Denmark (i. e. Jutland and the Danish islands, the Faroes not included) is a territory of glacial accumulation, the peripheric part of a former glacier-covered area. Morainic and fluvio-glacial deposits constitute the majority of the surface layers. Nearly 90 per cent of the Denmark-area are moraine hills, moraine flats and outwash plains. The rest is mainly coastal plain. The granite landscape of North-Bornholm is an area of inconsiderable extension.
