If you were walking from Hammer Lake to Blue Ridge, would you be walking over a till plain or an outwash plain? Explain.

A sinuously curving, narrow ridge of coarse sand and gravel is called an esker. Eskers form along the channel of a meltwater stream that flows beneath a glacier, in an ice tunnel, or between ice walls beneath the glacier. As a glacier retreats, the steep-sided esker is left behind in a pattern roughly parallel to the path of the glacier. What will be an ideal response?
