Best Answer

A roche moutonnée is a rock hill shaped by the passage of ice.

If there is a small rock hill under a glacier, there will be increased pressure on the closer side, which the ice is moving towards. This leaves the far side under less pressure, allowing the ice to freeze to it. However once the ice has frozen to the rock, it is able to 'pluck' bits of it off, leaving a rougher surface.

Roches moutonnées are common in the Cairngorms.
