==Geology and geomorphology== {{main|Relict (geology)}} In [[geology]], a relict is a structure or mineral from a parent rock that did not undergo metamorphosis when the surrounding rock did, or a rock that survived a destructive geologic process. In [[geomorphology]], a relict landform is a [[landform]] formed by either erosive or constructive surficial processes that are no longer active as they were in the past. A [[glacial relict]] is a cold-adapted organism that is a remnant of a larger distribution that existed in the [[Quaternary glaciation|ice ages]].
