A Drumlin is a sub-glacial land form. It is a result of catastrophic flooding due to the release of melt water accumulating beneath ice sheets of regional uplift of tectonic movements.
What else can I help you with?
What are glaciers forming long smooth hills?
They are called drumlins.
What do you call a group of drumlins?
A group of drumlins are referred to as a (basket of eggs)
Which glacial landforms require more than one glacier to form?
aretes,hanging valleys,horns,and drumlins
Is drumlin erosion or deposition?
Drumlins are caused by both erosion and deposition. These drumlins are found in the lowlands of Scotland and are small egg shaped hills.
What causes drumlins?
Drumlins are elongated, streamlined hills formed by the movement of glacial ice. They are created as glaciers advance, shaping subglacial sediment and debris into a teardrop or boat-like shape. The orientation and form of drumlins are influenced by the direction of glacier flow, and they often consist of till—a mix of clay, silt, sand, and boulders. Their formation typically occurs beneath the ice, as the glacier reshapes the underlying landscape.
How do drumlins and eskers form?
Drumlins and eskers are landforms created by glacial activity. Drumlins are elongated hills formed by the movement of glacial ice, which shapes the underlying sediment into a streamlined form as the glacier advances and retreats. In contrast, eskers are long, winding ridges of sediment deposited by meltwater streams that flow beneath or within a glacier, leaving behind layers of sand and gravel as the glacier retreats. Both features are indicators of past glacial processes and provide insights into the dynamics of ice movement.
Why farmers often plant crops on drumlins?
Farmers often plant crops on drumlins because their soil is deep and well-drained.
What erosional features do you see in a valley glaciers?
Glaciers form U-shaped valleys. They make striations, drumlins, kettlelakes, eratics, moraines and cirque.
Where are drumlin's found?
Drumlins are found on a hill
Is a drumlins A result of erosion or deposition?
deposition
What is the name for a smooth egg deposited by a glacier?
Drumlins
What are moraines and drumlins created by?
When glaciers advance or retreat, the sediments left behind create a moraine. Drumlins are created by the flow of glaciers that mold sediment into streamlined, elongated hills.
