Ridge consisting of unsorted sediments deposited at the sides of a glacier?
Wiki User
∙ 9y ago
Such ridges are referred to as lateral moraines. As a glacier moves, it shears debris, such as rock and soil, on both sides, and this unsorted sediment forms ridges along the edges of the glacier.

What is the general term for all sediments deposited by a glacier?
Till.
When a glacier leaves behind a rock that is a completely different material composition than the formation it is deposited upon it is called what?
Glacial till is unsorted sediment deposited directly by glacial ice.
What Unsorted rocky debris that is formed by a melting glaciers is called?
Unsorted rocky debris that is formed during the melting of a glacier is known as a till. When there are many tills that are present the sediment that is deposited forms a till plain.
Is drumlin the result of erosion or deposition?
Drumlin is the result of deposition and not erosion. It refers to a long, low hill of sediments deposited by a glacier.
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.
What are the sediments called that are deposited directly by a glacier?
Sediments directly deposited by the glacier are called till.
Mixture of sediments deposited by a glacier?
the correct answer is till. this sediment, deposited directly from glacier ice is till.
What will be the most probable arrangement of rock particles deposited directly by a glacier?
unsorted and not layered :)
The mixture of sediments deposited directly by a glacier is called?
Sediments directly deposited by the glacier are called till.
Earth science what is till?
Unsorted rock material that is deposited directly by a melting glacier.
What is the general term for all sediments deposited by a glacier?
Till.
A deposit of rock particles that are scratched and unsorted has most likely been transported and deposited by what?
A deposit of rock particles that are scratched and unsorted has most likely been transported and deposited by glacial ice.
Unsorted rocky debris that is formed by a melting glacier called?
The unsorted rocky debris formed by a melting glacier is known as glacial till. This mixture of rock fragments of various sizes and shapes is deposited by the glacier as it retreats, with no specific order or arrangement. Glacial till can form different landforms, such as moraines or drumlins, depending on how it is deposited.
How are glacier sediments deposited directly by glacial ice compared with those deposited by glacial meltwater?
fortniye
What is formed by till deposited at the edges of a glacier?
The retreating glacier leaves behind linear mounds of till (till being unsorted debris) and is known as moraine.
Unsorted rocky debris that is formed by a melting glacier?
The unsorted rocky debris formed by a melting glacier is called moraine. Moraines can come in various forms, such as lateral moraines, medial moraines, and terminal moraines, depending on where they are deposited by the glacier. This debris is a mixture of different rock sizes and types that were picked up and transported by the moving glacier.
What moraines are abrasive elements carried bottom of a frozen glacier?
Ground Moraines are abrasive elements that are carried in the bottom of a frozen glacier. Lateral Moraines are unsorted material deposited along the side of a valley glacier.
