An explanation for the origin of drumlins has not been discovered in the context of glacial theory, yet many people assume they were formed by ice movement. In this article, it is proposed that drumlins can be more readily explained in terms of fluvial action. Streamlining of sediments would result from currents of flood waters generated by the uplifts of the earth's crust at the end of the flood. The internal composition of the drumlins can be explained by the disintegration of rock upon the release of pressure, which resulted in drumlins of varying composition in drumlin fields.
