What else can I help you with?
Sediment laid down by glacial meltwater is called?
stratified drift ;D
Is sediment of different sized particles left by ice from glaciers called outwash?
No, sediment of different sized particles left by ice from glaciers is called glacial till. Outwash is sediment deposited by meltwater streams flowing away from a glacier.
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 makes Glacial melt water appear milky?
Glacial melt water can appear milky due to the presence of finely ground rock particles and sediment called glacial flour. When glaciers move, they grind against rocks and create this fine sediment, which is suspended in the meltwater. The suspended particles scatter light, giving the water a milky appearance.
Can you describe a till?
Till could be referring to a shortened version of until, or a glacial till which is unsorted glacial sediment.
Can ice carry sediment?
Yes. Glaciers carry large amounts of sediment. When that sediment is deposited it is called glacial till.
What is the sediment laid down by glacial meltwater?
The sediment laid down by glacial meltwater is called glacial outwash or till. Glacial outwash consists of sorted sediments like sand, gravel, and silt that are deposited by flowing water, while till is unsorted sediment deposited directly by the glacier as it melts and retreats.

What is sediment laid down by glacial meltwater called?

What is a sediment laid down by glacial meltwater called?
A sediment laid down by glacial meltwater is called glaciofluvial sediment. It is formed when the meltwater carries and deposits sediments as it flows away from the glacier. These sediments can include sand, gravel, and boulders.
What is dropping of sediment from wind or water that slows down or ice that melts called?
The dropping of sediment from wind or water that slows down is called sediment deposition. When ice melts and releases sediment it carries, it is known as glacial meltwater sedimentation.
