Drumlins geomorphic differences are tied to different architectural compositions.
Drumlins over crystalline basement areas are of the rock-cored type with sediment emplacement around a seeding rock core.
Drumlins over Palaeozoic sedimentary rock strata with deep Quaternary drift on top are of soft-cored type.
The latter are formed from compressional constructive deformation, accompanied by excavational deformation.
Drumlin formation is better explained by a set of processes where equifinality is playing a significant role.
