Our transcription: Across the interiors of continents, the ice sheets left moraines hundreds of kilometers long. Streamlined mounds of till, known as "drumlins," were sculpted by flowing and melting ice. Thousands of lake filled basins, called "kettles," were caused by the melting of ice buried in till. Sinuous ridges of sediments left by sub-glacial streams, known as "eskers," wind across the land. Most important to our modern civilization, however, are the wind-blown deposits of glacial silt, or "loess," which have weathered to form rich farmland soil.
