Which landform is a long, narrow hill formed by glacial till aligned in the direction of ice movement?

• A. Fringing Reef
• B. Drumlin
• C. Fjord Estuary
• D. Foreshore

Answer: (B)

A drumlin. Drumlins are streamlined hills formed from glacial till that get shaped by the moving ice, so their long axis follows the direction of the ice flow. The glacier tilts and reshapes unsorted sediment, creating a smooth, elongated hill with a blunt end facing the oncoming ice and a tapered end downstream. This combination—long, narrow, hill-like landforms aligned with ice movement—is exactly what a drumlin is.

Fringing reef is a coastline feature built by coral, not a glacial hill. Fjord estuary is a drowned, glacially carved valley, not a depositional hill shaped by ice flow. Foreshore refers to the coastal area between high and low tide, not a glacial landform.
