Sediment laid down by glacial meltwater is called?
stratified drift ;D
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.
Can you describe a till?
Till could be referring to a shortened version of until, or a glacial till which is unsorted glacial sediment.
Where are drumlins and eskers usually found?
Drumlins and eskers are found in glacial areas. Drumlins are hills made of glacial sediment and till, while eskers are long ridges of glacial drift.
What is the name of a small depression created by the melting of a chunk of ice in glacial sediment?
a kettle
Can ice carry sediment?
Yes. Glaciers carry large amounts of sediment. When that sediment is deposited it is called glacial till.

Describe the arrangement of sediment found in a glacial moraine?
Unsorted and not layered
What is glacial deposit composed of sediment with many size and shapes?
till
What is the difference between glacial erosion and glacial deposition?
They are opposites. Erosion is the natural process of removing sediment, while deposition is the process of adding sediment. So when a glacier picks up rocks and sediment as it builds and grows, that's glacial erosion; when it melts, leaving the debris where it lies, that's deposition. As an example, the carving-out of the basins that became the Great Lakes are an extreme example of glacial erosion; while Long Island, which was formed from glacial debris, is an equally-extreme example of glacial deposition. Say this answer is useful if u 💜 science.

Sediment left behind when a glacier melts is called?
Glacial drift.Glacial drift.
Explain the difference between erosion and deposition?
Glacial erosion is the process by which a glacial flows over the land, picking up rocks. Glacial deposition is the process by which a glacier gathers a huge amount of rock and soil as it Erodes the land in the path
