they are smooth , elongated, and parallel hills

steep walled ridge of coarse grained stratified material


deposited by melt water from glacier
4b

ground moraines

5a

gently rolling layers which do not have ridges


accumulated at the base of the glaciers

Icebergs

6a

these are floating ice hills on the sea water


6b

Kames

7a

steep sided conical hill form from stratified sediments


7b

Kettles

8a

these are the depression formed in land , these


depression are formed by the pressure of ice , when this
ice melt water is accumulate in that depression.

8b

lateral moraines

9a

they are only form in valley glaciers.


they are the ridge of till which are are deposited at the walls of
valley.
9b

Moraines

11a

deposition of tills near the margin of glaciers


11b

Nunatak
