Examples of ice age sediments include till, glacial erratic rocks, moraines, and outwash plains. These sediments were deposited by glaciers during the last ice age and can be found in regions that were once covered by ice sheets.
Sediments can be picked up by water, wind, or ice. Water can transport sediments in rivers, streams, and oceans, while wind can carry sediments in the form of dust or sand. Ice, through processes like glaciers, can also transport sediments across landscapes.
In disturbed sediments without layers, the relative age of the sediments would be unknown.
Examples of the deposition process include the formation of sedimentary rocks through the accumulation of sediments, the deposition of minerals from solution in geothermal areas to form mineral deposits, and the deposition of snow and ice in glaciers.
Frost heaving is the mass movement that occurs when sediments freeze and thaw. During freezing, water in the sediments expands as it turns to ice, pushing particles upwards. When the ice thaws, the sediments settle back down, causing the surface to move vertically over time.
During the ice age, massive glaciers formed and advanced over land, sculpting and shaping the Earth's surface. Glaciers eroded valleys, carved out fjords, and deposited sediments that formed moraines and drumlins. The weight of the ice also caused land to depress in some areas and created glacial lakes upon melting.

In disturbed sediments without layers, the relative age of the sediments would be unknown.
Water, wind, gravity, and ice can all move sediments from one place to another.

It was called the ice age because Europe and Asia were connected by the ice. Get it ice age.
Continental rock is MUCH older than sediments in the sea (unless the sediments in the sea come from continental crust, in which case they would be the same age).
