A kame is a small hill or mound of sorted sand and gravel that forms on the surface of a glacier and is deposited after the glacier retreats. Drumlins are elongated hills composed of glacial till that form parallel to the direction of ice movement. Eskers are long ridge-like features composed of gravel and sand that form in tunnels beneath a glacier. Kettles are shallow, bowl-shaped depressions formed by the melting of a block of ice that was buried in glacial sediments.
