A delta forms where a river empties into a large body of water. It's usually something associated with medium to large rivers. It is generally the the build up a very fine particles of dirt (silt) that were in the river water.
A moraine is formed at the end of a glacier where it dumps its load of rock. It will generally have large rocks, gravel, sand, and silt all mixed in together.

∙ 12y agoTill is a mixture of soil, clay, rock particles, and any other sediments deposited by glaciers and moraine is made out of till, but just deposited at the edges of a glacier.

∙ 13y agoa moraine sounds like, uhm.. something close to water..
a hill, reminds me of singing! :)
Mythical Ice
Outwash may be intermingled with morainal landforms due to local glacial re-advances

When a glacier stops moving forward an out wash may be deposited in front of it?
its not outwash its moraine
What is the sediment laid down by glacial meltwater called?
There are several names: outwash is one and moraines are another. The outwash forms a flat area sometimes called outwash planes and the moraines are hilly.
How are outwash plains formed?
Outwash plains are formed by meltwater form glaciers.
A broad accumulation of stratified drift deposited adjacent to the downstream edge of an end moriane is?
outwash plain
Is sediment of different sized particles left by ice from glaciers called outwash?
Yes, it is called outwash.
What is th difference between outwash and a moraine?
the difference is that outwash is something that's been washed too much, therfore we shall through it away. a moraine, is a very weird word that no one should use! :)
What is the difference between sediments in the outwash and sediments in the moraines?
Sediments that are in outwash are sorted sediments, organized by size, while sediments that are in moraine are unsorted.
When a glacier stops moving forward an out wash may be deposited in front of it?
its not outwash its moraine
What transports moraine?
Moraine is the rock debris accumulated by and in a glacier. Eventually, this becomes deposited either in the sea, a lake, or a river. If it is further moved, by a stream say, it is no longer called a moraine. But for a little way downstream it may be called moraine outwash.
What is the difference between a terminal moraine and a recessional moraine?
The terminal moraine is the sediment deposition furthest from the source of the glacier. It is also known as an end moraine, however depending on recession or advancement of the glacier, the end moraine is not always the terminal moraine. Lateral moraines are lines of sediment deposited along the outer walls or boundaries of a glacier and can run from the top of the glacier down to its end.
What is the difference between a till and a moraine?
Till is the mixture of sediment that glaciers deposit and a moraine is the same thing, but just deposited at the edges of a glacier.
What is the difference in till and outwash?
unlike till,outwash usually consists of particles that are all about the same sizes.
What is the sediment laid down by glacial meltwater called?
There are several names: outwash is one and moraines are another. The outwash forms a flat area sometimes called outwash planes and the moraines are hilly.
What is the difference between a terminal moraine and a lateral morain?
The terminal moraine is the sediment deposition furthest from the source of the glacier. It is also known as an end moraine, however depending on recession or advancement of the glacier, the end moraine is not always the terminal moraine. Lateral moraines are lines of sediment deposited along the outer walls or boundaries of a glacier and can run from the top of the glacier down to its end.
Is an outwash plain sorted or unsorted?
outwash is sorted because it is running water
How are outwash plains formed?
Outwash plains are formed by meltwater form glaciers.
A broad accumulation of stratified drift deposited adjacent to the downstream edge of an end moriane is?
outwash plain
