Explanation

Glacial depositional landforms are features formed by sediment deposited by ice or meltwater. Eskers are sinuous ridges of sand and gravel deposited by streams flowing under or within glaciers. Outwash plains are broad, flat areas of sorted sediment deposited by meltwater streams emerging from glaciers. In contrast, U-shaped valleys and roches moutonnées are erosional features carved by moving ice, not depositional.
