What would you suspect if you saw long striation on the surface of a rock?

A striation of any length is a sure sign of glacial activity in the past. A striation is formed when a glacier scrapes moraine (load) against the rock face, forming a mark known as a striation. The mark shows that the area was once dominated by glacial activity.

What is Sediment laid down by glacial meltwater?

Quick clay would be one phase, where the material is very fine, saturated with liquid, and prone to liquefaction.Varves would be another (word derived from the Scandinavian for wave), and presents as well-layered fine silt on the bed of a glacier fed lake. Probably a seasonal process, with a graded particle size.Outwash Gravels are a little more remote from the glacier, and are generally re-mobilized moraine materials. These will show a dendritic pattern of the streams that formed the deposit.
