Sediments is pieces of solid material that have been deposited on Earth's surface. The sediments have been deposited by wind, water, ice, gravity, or chemical precipitation.
Glacial till is unsorted sediment deposited directly by glacial ice.
No. Material that is directly deposited by glaciers, called till, is completely unsorted. However, some of the processes around glaciers, particularly streams from meltwater, can sort material.
The material deposited by a river is called sediment. The bits of organic debris such as leaves and stems is detritus. Sediment includes detritus, inorganic material such as pebbles, sand, clay and other rock bits.
