The uneven surface of hummocky moraine results from what?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Irregular deposition of glacial debris and melting of buried ice blocks
Hummocky moraine is a chaotic assemblage of irregular mounds and hollows. It develops when stagnant or retreating glacier ice releases poorly sorted debris and buried blocks of dead ice later melt, causing local subsidence. This uneven deposition and melting explains the rugged surface, so option B is correct. Wave planation, well-sorted wind dust, and fine quiet-water silt would generally produce smoother or layered deposits.
