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.
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! :)
Is an outwash plain sorted or unsorted?
outwash is sorted because it is running water
What is a glacial outwash?
Glacial PlainA l outwash plain is a stratified deposit of sand and gravel transported by water from a melting glacial ice sheet.
What is glacial soil?
soil developed in glacial outwash refers to what
Till and outwash are both deposits of sediments from what?
Glaciers
How are till and outwash different?
Basically till is unsorted and outwash is sorted. Outwash is sorted by the melt water streams, which have the ability to smooth rocks and pebbles. The till is carried by the glacier which means that all sorts of rocks and boulders can be carried with the ice, creating sharp surfaces on the rocks.
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
What landform would be created by outwash?
It would create outwash plains, eskers, and kames.
Is sediment of different sized particles left by ice from glaciers called outwash?
Yes, it is called outwash.
When deposits of till build up What is left behind?
When deposits of till build up, they can leave behind various landforms such as moraines, drumlins, eskers, and outwash plains. These features are created by the movement of glaciers and the deposition of sediments as the glacier retreats.
What is till deposited at the end of glaciers?
Till is deposited by glacial ice. Till is deposited almost exclusively in the ablation zone either by being plastered onto the underlying glacial bed by flowing ice or by sloughing off the glacier's surface as the ice melts. Till are generally unstratified and commonly consist of large rock fragments surrounded by a finer grained matrix of sand, silt, and clay.Outwash is Sand and gravel deposited by melt water. Outwash are typicaly well sorted and stratified so they differ sharply from tills, which are unsorted and unstratified
