  • Drumlins: Understanding Glacial Landforms - Formation, Shape & Size
    The formation you're describing is called a drumlin.

    Here's a little more about them:

    * Formation: Drumlins are formed when a glacier moves over previously deposited sediment, shaping it into a streamlined, elongated hill.

    * Shape: They are typically oval or elongated, with the steeper side facing the direction from which the glacier came.

    * Size: Drumlins can vary in size, ranging from a few meters to hundreds of meters in length and height.

    * Location: They are often found in groups, sometimes in hundreds, in areas that were once covered by glaciers.
