When a glacier melts what is the debris called that it leaves behind that is piled around the edges?
The debris left behind by a melting glacier is called "moraine." Moraines consist of a mixture of soil, rocks, and sediment that the glacier has eroded and transported. They are typically found at the edges or terminus of the glacier, forming ridges or piles that mark the glacier's former extent.
What represents a former meltwater channel or tunnel in glacier ice that was filled with sand and gravel?
A former meltwater channel or tunnel in glacier ice that was filled with sand and gravel is known as a "kame." These landforms are created when meltwater flows through the glacier, depositing sediments as the ice retreats. Kames can appear as mounds or hills of sediment and are often found in glacial landscapes, indicating past glacial activity.
