Soramäet, meaning "gravel hills" or "gravel mounds" in Estonian, are geological formations primarily composed of gravel and sand. These features are typically found in glaciated landscapes, where they are formed by the deposition of glacial outwash or moraine material. The gravel and sand are carried by meltwater streams from retreating glaciers and deposited in stratified layers. Over time, these deposits can accumulate to form distinct topographical features such as ridges, hummocks, or elongated mounds.
The composition of soramäet varies depending on the source material of the glacier. They can contain a
In Estonia, soramäet are common in areas that were covered by ice sheets during the last glacial
