How to use "Hummock" in context?
The science of hummock dynamics is the study of how the shapes of plants, animals or structures affect their behavior in their environment. The term hummock generally refers to a stable, elevated pediment or crest found on hills, mountains, or summits. The related terms hogback and rampart are also used.
Hummocks exhibit a characteristic form known as a "armchair" or "ladder". The arms of the chair are perpendicular to the ground, and its height is determined by the slope of the surrounding ground. The basic form of a hummock can be explained by the dynamic response of soil to weight.
