I need to know this for a science test tomorrow but there are some features where I really can't find anything about it being sorted or unsorted. Please help quickly?
Even if you know only one, that'll be really helpful!!! These are the ones I need to know:
- outwash
- horn
- esker
- cirque
- till
- erratic
- terminal moraine
- kame
- kettle lake
- tarn
- finger lakes
- arete
- drumlin
- rouches moutonees
- striations

Thank you so much. No silly answers please! I really need this a.s.a.p. so I can study it!

Not all of the glacial features you have listed are depositional features. Some of them are erosional features:

- outwash * sported

- horn * erosional

- esker * sorted

- cirque * erosional

- till * unsorted

- erratic * a single rock

- terminal moraine * unsorted

- kame * sorted

- kettle lake * a depression in the ground

- tarn * a lake in a cirque valley

- finger lakes * erosional

- arete * erosional

- drumlin * unsorted

- rouches moutonees * solid bedrock shaped by ice movement (erosional feature)

- striations * grooves caused by glacial erosion
