Drumlins: These are aligned, elongated hillocks created from thick deposits of glacial till. They are composed of clay till and, sometimes, sand and gravel sediments. They are steepest on the side facing the glacier, and gently sloping on the other side.

The sediments deposited by glacial meltwater are called outwash. Since they have been transported by running water, the outwash deposits are braided, sorted, and layered. The broad front of outwash associated with an ice sheet is called an outwash plain;
