What are glaciers forming long smooth hills?
They are called drumlins.
What is the sediment laid down by glacial meltwater called?
There are several names: outwash is one and moraines are another. The outwash forms a flat area sometimes called outwash planes and the moraines are hilly.

Where are drumlins and eskers usually found?
Drumlins and eskers are found in glacial areas. Drumlins are hills made of glacial sediment and till, while eskers are long ridges of glacial drift.
What are moraines and drumlins created by?
When glaciers advance or retreat, the sediments left behind create a moraine. Drumlins are created by the flow of glaciers that mold sediment into streamlined, elongated hills.
