An esker is a long, winding ridge of sand and gravel deposited by a melting glacier. It is typically formed in tunnels within or beneath the ice and can stretch for many kilometers. Eskers are a common feature in glaciated regions.

What forms eskers?
an esker is formed by a Glacier
Where are drumlins and eskers usually found?
Drumlins are usually found in regions that were covered by glaciers during the last Ice Age, such as parts of North America and Europe. Eskers are commonly found in areas that were once covered by glaciers, including parts of Scandinavia, North America, and Siberia.
Eskers and Kettle lakes are the result of?
Eskers are winding ridges of sediment deposited by meltwater streams flowing under glaciers. Kettle lakes are formed when a block of ice from a retreating glacier gets buried in sediment and then melts. Both eskers and kettle lakes are common features of glacial landscapes.
What is an area at the leading edge of glacier where meltwater deposits outwash?
eskers
Were eskers formed by erosional or depositional processes?
Eskers were formed by depositional processes. They are long, winding ridges of sand and gravel that were deposited by meltwater streams flowing in tunnels beneath glaciers during the last Ice Age.

How Eskers are glacial features formed when .?
Eskers are formed when a subglacial stream of meltwater flows within, on, or beneath glaciers. As the glacier melts and retreats, sediment and gravel carried by the stream are deposited in long winding ridges. These deposits form the characteristic winding shape of eskers.
Where are drumlins and eskers usually found?
