Glacial drift.Glacial drift.
Glacier erosion is when the ground below the glacier is removed. Glacial deposition is when the debris (eroded ground) is left behind when a glacier melts and the face retreats.
Yes, When the glacier melts, all the rocks underneath are still there.....AnswerYes rocks melt out of Glaciers. The main types I can remember:Glacial till ( rocks left as an even bed )Erratics are large rocks (Boulder's) left scattered aboutLateral moraine's. These are drifts of rocks left where a stream has melted and cut a route through the glacier or the edges of where the glacier got to or whereTerminal Moraine is where a Glacier got to and stopped advancing or retreating for a time thus plowing up a big long narrow pile of rock.
