Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A kettle is a steep-sided depression that is left in ground moraine by a large block of stranded ice that melts, filling the depression with water and forming a lake. Drumlins are elongated hills that are formed under glacial ice, while kames are mounds of sediment that are deposited by meltwater streams. Eskers are long, winding ridges that are formed by sediment that is deposited by meltwater streams under the glacier.
