STRATIFIED DRIFT-FLUVOGLACIAL DRIFT COMPOSED OF MATERIAL DEPOSITED BY A MELT WATER STREAM HEyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
stratified drift ;D
A stratified drift
No, only Continental Drift Theory.
The Continental Drift theory is a theory because there is no evidence to support it. Alfred Wegener developed the Continental Drift theory in the 1800's.
The continental drift is still taking place.
It's a stratified drift.
Sand and Gravel
Stratified drift refers to sediment deposits arranged in distinct layers, typically left behind by glaciers or meltwater streams. These layers can vary in composition, size, and sorting based on the specific conditions during deposition.

Till and stratified drift :D Did you get this from Portola MS in 6th grade workbook for Science?
Stratified drift
Glacial till is unsorted and unstratified sediment deposited directly by a glacier, while stratified drift is sorted and stratified sediment deposited by glacial meltwater. An example of glacial till is a moraine, which is a ridge of mixed debris left behind by a moving glacier. An example of stratified drift is an outwash plain, which is a flat, gently sloping area formed by the deposition of sorted sediments carried by glacial meltwater.

stratified drift ;D
Stratified drift consists mostly of a mixture of sand, silt, and gravel that has been deposited by glaciers and then sorted and layered by water. These deposits can form distinct layers or beds within the sediment.
Till and stratified drift are both types of glacial deposits, but they differ in composition and formation. Till is an unsorted mixture of clay, silt, sand, and larger rocks that is directly deposited by glacial ice as it melts. In contrast, stratified drift is sorted sediment that is carried and deposited by meltwater from glaciers, resulting in layers of different sizes and compositions, typically found in river valleys and outwash plains. This sorting process leads to a more organized structure in stratified drift compared to the chaotic nature of till.
