The land features that are formed from glacial deposits.
Answer to Problem 19RQ
The land features formed from glacial deposits are moraine and drumlin.
Explanation of Solution
A glacier is capable of carrying huge amount of sediment and rock along with them. When a glacier moves, they deposit great quantities of trash in the path. Eventually, they deposit the debris and form various types of landforms, like moraine and drumlin.
Moraine is a ridge-shaped landform that is created due to the movement of the glacier. They are the marks of the glacier created as it moves, leaving a huge amount of debris and soil.
Drumlin is glacial sediment of elongated hill shape. It is formed by continental glaciation and is in the way of ice flow. They have a steep, blunt end in the upstream and a tapered gentle slope on the downstream side.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the land features formed from glacial deposits are moraine and drumlin.
