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.
Glacial till is unsorted sediment deposited directly by glacial ice.
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.
Till could be referring to a shortened version of until, or a glacial till which is unsorted glacial sediment.
Yes. Glaciers carry large amounts of sediment. When that sediment is deposited it is called glacial till.
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.

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.
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.
