Here's a breakdown of how kames form:
* Meltwater: Glaciers melt, creating streams of water that flow on their surface.
* Sediment Transport: These meltwater streams carry sand, gravel, and other sediment.
* Deposition: As the stream slows down or encounters obstacles, it deposits the sediment, often in mounds or ridges.
* Kame Formation: Over time, these mounds of sediment can grow into noticeable hills, known as kames.
Kames are often found alongside other glacial landforms, like moraines and eskers.
