Unsorted rock material that is deposited directly by a melting glacier.
A deposit of rock particles that are scratched and unsorted has most likely been transported and deposited by glacial ice.
Glacial till or 'Moraine'.
there is glacial drift and that is the act of rock material carried and deposited by glaciers. there is till which is the act of unsorted rock material that is deposited directly by a melting glacier and there is stratified drift which is the result of a glacial deposit that has been sorted and layered by action of streams or meltwater
A moraine is a unsorted deposit of material left behind at the head (the front of a Glacier
unsorted and not layered :)

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.

* Heterogeneous. (All different sizes). * Jagged fragments. * Angular rock. * Unsorted. * Unstratified.
DEPOSITION
Ground Moraines are abrasive elements that are carried in the bottom of a frozen glacier. Lateral Moraines are unsorted material deposited along the side of a valley glacier.
Unsorted rock material deposisited directly by moving glaicers
Unsorted rocky debris that is formed during the melting of a glacier is known as a till. When there are many tills that are present the sediment that is deposited forms a till plain.
