How does material deposited by glaciers differ from material deposited by streams?

To answer this, think about the way water moves and how ice moves. Now think of steady fast-moving streams of water and massive hulking glaciers scraping across the land. Streams push sediments along and sort them into normalized groups. Sand is separated from stones of different sizes. Glacier pick up rocks in their slow progress and deposit them later as the ice melts. The streams' depositions are very regular; the glaciers' depositions are very irregular.

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
How does the usage of milk plastic differ from normal plastic?
The starting material of milk plastic is casein, a protein.
Why do Bacteria differ from viruses because bacteria have?
Because bacteria have only DNA as genetic material but viruses have RNA or DNA as genetic material. viruses are harmful but most of the bacteria are useful.
Would two blocks made of the same metal but differ in sizes differ in density?
Density is dependent on two things - the volume of the object under consideration, and it's mass. For a given material, in order for the volume (the size) to change, so must the mass by a proportional amount. Therefore, for a specific material, changing the size of the sample does not affect the density in any way.
How does a gene differ from genome?
A gene is just the DNA that stores genetic information, a genome is all the genetic material in an organism.
How do desert streams differ from those in humid regions?
desert streams get flash floods more than the streams in the humid places.
How do disappearing streams differ from regular surface streams?
Surface waste is really supplanted by extensive underground seepage. "vanish" (vanishing streams) and "return" (springs). Streams that stream on a superficial level and afterward apparently "vanish" subterranean. They may likewise vanish into cracks or blames in the bedrock close to the stream. A gushing stream gets water from the beginning, in this manner it extends downstream by getting further and more extensive. Influent streams are in parched territories and lose a ton of water through dissipation and drainage into the ground. ... Most influent streams lose the entirety of their water, evaporating before entering the ocean.

Opinions may differ, but I'd go with steel, concrete and semiconductors.
How does the usage of milk plastic differ from normal plastic?

How does the depth of the water tables differ in stream valleys swampy areas and hilltops?
In swampy areas, the water table is very close to the surface. In streams it is lower and in hilltops it is very low.
