The answer is TRUE

Term1/16

The lower layer of the mantle is composed of this material

Definition1/16

The lower mantle's chemical composition includes silicon, magnesium, and oxygen. Most likely, it probably also contains some iron, calcium, and aluminum

The material at these depths is often referred to as the "post-perovskite" phase which is the high-pressure form of magnesium silicate (MgSiO3).

Unsorted rocky debris that is formed by a melting glacier is called moraine. There are many different types of moraine depending on where the debris is found and deposited.
