1 Drumlins The Forming of A Landscape By Matthew O’Hare Theories and experiments as presented in The Origin of Glacially Fluted Surfaces - Observations and Theories By G.S. Bolton and Drumlin Formation Time: Evidence from Northern and Central Sweden By Ĥưattestrand et al.

2 What are Drumlins The word drumlin comes form the Irish word druim. Drumlins are made up of sediment deposited by a glacier. Swarms of drumlins have shaped the geography of many areas around the world.

3 Form of Drumlins

4 Introduction to The Origin of Glacially Fluted Surfaces Disputes existing theories of tunnels causing drumlins Proposes new theory involving pressure differences caused by obstructions Flutes similar to shear marks

5 Method and Research of Boulton 13 glaciers Height of obstruction important Subglacial observations Till-fabric measurements Folding

6 Theory Cavities will tend to occur when: Flute sizes depend on the stresses surrounding it. Rejects frozen till hypothesis The Formation of Individual Flutes

7 Interrelationship Between Flutes on Fluted Surfaces Claims ideas are erroneous of rhythmic mechanism to spacing of flutes. Depends on number of boulders in glacier Flutes interact to form different shapes

8 Conclusions of Boulton
