What is a glacial till?
glacial till is the stuff deposited from a glacier.
What is one interesting fact about conglomerate rocks?
The clasts in conglomerate can be sorted, partially sorted, or unsorted.
Why do some glacial deposition have sorted sediments while others do not?
Glacial sediments that are sorted are due to flowing water in the glacier. Unsorted sediments are those that have thawed out of the ice randomly.
How are till and outwash different?
Basically till is unsorted and outwash is sorted. Outwash is sorted by the melt water streams, which have the ability to smooth rocks and pebbles. The till is carried by the glacier which means that all sorts of rocks and boulders can be carried with the ice, creating sharp surfaces on the rocks.
What is the definition of stratified drift?
the definition of stratified drift is the rocks from a sorted deposit
What is a glacier deposit that is sorted into layers based on the size of the rock material?
A stratified drift
Do kettle lakes contain sorted or unsorted sediments?
sorted
What is a glacial till?
glacial till is the stuff deposited from a glacier.
Is an outwash plain sorted or unsorted?
outwash is sorted because it is running water
What is the define to the word stratified drift?
Larger rocks deposited closer to the glacier. The rocks form a sorted deposit
Describe the various types of glacial moraines?
there is glacial drift and that is the act of rock material carried and deposited by glaciers. there is till which is the act of unsorted rock material that is deposited directly by a melting glacier and there is stratified drift which is the result of a glacial deposit that has been sorted and layered by action of streams or meltwater
Is a moraine sorted or unsorted?
A moraine is unsorted. Plucking and abrasion by glaciers do not discriminate in size of material debris. It might grind rock matter into what is called "rock flour" and this may be visible at the snout of a glacier, but this and other debris of any size will be be deposited as unsorted till in the form of an end moraine (terminal moraine). A moraine between 2 glaciers is a medial moraine, a moraine along side the glacier is a lateral moraine. Sometimes till can contain glacial erratics... that is, material that came from very far away and does not fit with other materials in the till deposit. Glaciers act as a conveyor belt depending on budget, and material moves with the plasticity of the ice. I hope this helps a little bit.

Glacial sediments that are sorted are due to flowing water in the glacier. Unsorted sediments are those that have thawed out of the ice randomly.
What are unsorted sediments?
\sediments that are in a body of water that are not sorted by their type of sediment. for example, if there were cobbles, pebbles, and silt, in a lake, that would be unsorted
What is ordering in DBMS?
changing of unsorted list to sorted list in a ordering from alphabets, numbers, ASC/DESC.

Basically till is unsorted and outwash is sorted. Outwash is sorted by the melt water streams, which have the ability to smooth rocks and pebbles. The till is carried by the glacier which means that all sorts of rocks and boulders can be carried with the ice, creating sharp surfaces on the rocks.
