Does a glacier deposit sediment when it freezes?
Doesa glacier deposit sediment whenit freezes
What does a glacier deposit as it recedes?
The glacier deposits water as it recedes because when a glacier melts it makes more water. See a glacier is made up of frozen water so when it melts it creates more water.
What is a winding ridge left by melting glacier?
You may be referring to an "esker," a snake-like deposit of sediment left by a stream of running water underneath a glacier. At the edge of a glacier, a "moraine" also can form. A moraine is a pile of sediment and debris pushed by the glacier that forms alongside the glacier - a lateral moraine - or at the end of a glacier's run - a terminal moraine.
What is a glacier load?
My understanding is that every glacier has a certain amount of sediment scraped from the interface of the surrounding bed rock and the moving ice. The total amount of this sediment is the Glacial load. Some significant land features, such as Cape Cod in Massachusetts, are remnants of the load after the ice receded.
How do scientists determine if a deposit of rocks is till rock or not?
it has to be left by a glacier and it's basically all sediment

What is glacial load?
