Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Drumlins are elongated hills that are streamlined in the direction of glacial movement. They often have an inverted spoon shape, with a steep stoss (upstream) end and a gentler lee (downstream) end. Eskers are narrow ridges of sediment deposited by meltwater streams in or on top of glaciers, kettles are depressions formed by the melting of buried ice blocks, horns are steep peaks that form when multiple glaciers erode a mountain from different sides, and kames are cone-shaped hills of sand and gravel that form when sediment is deposited into openings in retreating glaciers.
