WHAT DOES HUMMOCKY MEAN IN ENGLISH?

hummocky

Hummock

Hummock is a general geological term referring to a small knoll or mound above ground. They are typically less than 15 meters in height and tend to appear in groups or fields. It is difficult to make generalizations about hummocks because of the diversity in their morphology and sedimentology. The term hummock, or hummocky, is also applied to extremely irregular surfaces. An ice hummock is a boss or rounded knoll of ice rising above the general level of an ice-field. Hummocky ice is caused by slow and unequal pressure in the main body of the packed ice, and by unequal structure and temperature at a later period.
