The rock is called a glacial erratic when it is left behind by a glacier, and is of a completely different material composition than the rocks on which it was deposited.

What is The rock material deposited by glaciers as they melt and retreat?
They are known as moraines.
What is glacier drift?
glacial drift is the rock material carried and deposited by glaciers!
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

What is a rock's disposition?
The deposition of a rock is defined as how it is deposited somewhere. Most rocks are deposited by being carried in rivers, flash flooding, rainstorm runoffs, and even glaciers.
What do you call a mass of rock and silt deposited directly by a glacer?
A moraine is formed by rock and sand deposits from melting glaciers.
How do glaciers and rivers make new rock types?
Glaciers and rivers carry eroded rock material to a place of deposition where the sediments can lithify into sedimentary rock.
Where was the eroded material from the shield deposited and what did this material become?
igneous rock and it became sand
