Our trip to the Boston Harbor Islands was terrific, and a great learning experience.I now know about all of the drowned drumlins in the Boston Harbor, making our Boston Harbor Islands. These drumlins were plucked and then dropped by glaciers long ago, and were then weathered down by years of wind, rain and waves. Years of longshore drift shaped the slope of the drumlins into what appears to be upside down spoons, shaped by constant seawind on one side of the island. All in all, erosion and deposition has greatly changed the shape of the terrain.

Now this is a story all about how erosion melted this glacier and spilled it’s till on the ground Now I’d like to take a minute to explain everything, from runoff to a drowned drumlin Now a drumlin was dropped, and that drumlin was drowned Soon the Boston harbor islands were formed and found Erosion by waves created longshore drift… distorting the sand on the islands to a little spit Erosion by water affected the bluff, Erosion by wind huffed and puffed, Water flows through rills and gullies, onto the beach Abrasion and loess thrusts sand on you- spitting in your speech Impact and deposition change the placement of sediment Formation as classic as it gets, call it a pediment
