During a field study in the Ribble Valley, Yorkshire Dales, a group of students analyze an asymmetrical, streamlined landform composed entirely of unsorted glacial till. The landform features a steep, blunt slope (stoss end) facing north-east, and a gentle, elongated slope (lee end) pointing south-west.
Which landform have the students identified, and what was the direction of the palaeo-ice flow that formed it?
A drumlin, indicating a palaeo-ice flow direction towards the south-west.
