hummocky terrain

Hummocky terrain refers to the landscape characterized by a series of small, rounded mounds and depressions, creating a uneven, wavy surface. This type of landforms typically results from natural processes such as glacial activity, where moving ice scours and deposits sediments, or from erosion and sediment redistribution in wet, disturbed environments. The ridges and hollows can influence water drainage, plant growth, and soil development. Hummocky terrain is often found near glaciers, in swampy areas, or in regions shaped by past ice advances, giving the landscape a distinctive, undulating appearance.
