Answer 1

Kame and Kettle terrain is correct answer.

A kame is a stratified geomorphologic feature which is created by deposition action of glacier meltwater, an irregularly shaped hill or mound composed of sand, gravel, and till, commonly associated with end moraine. A kame may occur as an isolated hill but in general each kame is one mound in a low-lying terrain of many hammocks, terraces, ridges, and hollows.

Kettles are depressions in the outwash plains, which formed due to the melting of large ice blocks and this is referred to as kame and kettle topography.

Kame and kettle topography is an indicator of a high-discharge supraglacial and englacial drainage system of a glacier in the final stages of melt, and large quantities of glacially derived debris associated with meltwater.
