When the glacier melts, such deposits will be topographic highs on the landscape. Lake sediments will form a kame and fluvial sediments will form sinuous eskers . Drumlins are glacial till deposits that were deposited and then reworked by a readvancing glacier. Kettle lakes are circular depressions that are usually formed by the burial and subsequent melting of a block of ice. They are usually associated with kames to produce an irregular surface.
Paternoster lakes are lakes that resemble a string of beads.
They are formed by plucking and abrasion along the valley floor. Scoured lakes are formed by water infilling a depression in a glacial trough scoured out by a glacier.
