  • Drumlins: Understanding Glacial Landforms and Their Formation
    The smooth hill formed from rocky debris left behind by a melting glacier is called a drumlin.

    Here's why:

    * Drumlins are elongated hills of till (unsorted glacial sediment) that are shaped by the movement of a glacier.

    * They are typically oval-shaped, with the steeper side facing the direction from which the glacier flowed.

    * The smooth, rounded shape is a result of the glacier's erosive and depositional power.
