What is Sediment laid down by glacial meltwater?
Quick clay would be one phase, where the material is very fine, saturated with liquid, and prone to liquefaction.Varves would be another (word derived from the Scandinavian for wave), and presents as well-layered fine silt on the bed of a glacier fed lake. Probably a seasonal process, with a graded particle size.Outwash Gravels are a little more remote from the glacier, and are generally re-mobilized moraine materials. These will show a dendritic pattern of the streams that formed the deposit.
What is the movement of glacial ice called?
[Glacial] flow
What is a glacial inlet?

What are streams that contribute to a river system called?
The streams that contribute to a river system are called tributaries.
What are large deposits of boulders called?
The debris of boulders eroded and carried down by glaciers will eventually form moraines (mounds) where the front of the glacier melts and retreats, leaving the debris behind. Moraines can be high and wide enough to form a dam, behind which glacial melt water is trapped and lakes are formed.
