Question

Which are the glacial deposition topographies?

Answer 1

Answer:

Depositional landforms

Explanation:

Examples include glacial moraines, eskers, and kames. Drumlins and ribbed moraines are also landforms left behind by retreating glaciers. The stone walls of New England contain many glacial erratics, rocks that were dragged by a glacier many miles from their bedrock origin.

Answer 2

Glacial deposition topographies

Explanation:

The regions that were formerly covered with ice are characterized by the following features:-

• The topography lacks organised drainage.

• There are hollows with no outlets some of which form lakes.

• In some places there are isolated hills,in other long and winding ridges,none of which seem to have much relation to the underlying bedrock.

• In some places , the bedrock is deeply buried,sometimes 50 metres or more ,below the glacial drift.

• The ground over the bedrock is mostly a heterogeneous mixture of sand, clay,pebbles and boulders.
• Many of the pebbles and boulders differ entirely in composition from the bedrock.
