Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The characteristic features mentioned in the question, such as low rolling relief, deranged drainage patterns, and unsorted materials, are commonly associated with till plains. Till plains are formed by the deposition of glacial sediment carried by ice sheets as they move across the landscape. As the ice melts, the debris is deposited creating these characteristic features. Valley trains, lateral moraines, and medial moraines are all landforms associated with glaciers, but they do not have the same characteristics as till plains.
