Quizplus · Accepted Answer

All of the options listed, drumlins, roches moutonnées, and striations, are features that can be used to infer the direction of movement of a continental glacier. Drumlins are streamlined hills of glacial deposits that point in the direction of glacier movement. Roches moutonnées are rock formations created by glacier movement, with a smooth side showing the direction the ice came from and a plucked side indicating the direction it moved towards. Striations are scratches or gouges cut into bedrock by the abrasive action of the glacier's sediment load, indicating the glacier's direction of movement.
