A moraine is a cone shaped deposit of calcite that builds up on the floor of a cave?
False
What is a winding ridge left by melting glacier?
You may be referring to an "esker," a snake-like deposit of sediment left by a stream of running water underneath a glacier. At the edge of a glacier, a "moraine" also can form. A moraine is a pile of sediment and debris pushed by the glacier that forms alongside the glacier - a lateral moraine - or at the end of a glacier's run - a terminal moraine.
What is the term for glacier sediment?
The rock and soil debris accompanying the glacier is moraine. lateral moraine at the sides where avalanches have dropped it, terminal moraine where the glacier finishes, and medial moraine formed from the lateral moraines of two contributory glaciers when they join.
What do you call a deposit of clay sandand gravel left behind by a glacier?
Apron: Defined as an area covered by sand and gravel deposited at the front of a glacial moraine Outwash material/sandur. Or if into water a varve.
What is a glacier deposited?
Moraine or till, is a glacier deposit.
What is a deposit of loose material carried and left by a glacier?
A deposit of loose material carried and left by a glacier is called a moraine. Moraines can be classified into different types based on the location and way they were formed, such as terminal moraine, lateral moraine, and medial moraine.

What is a deposit of loose material carried and left by a glacier and sounds like terrain?
moraine
Is moraine created by erosion or deposition?
Moraine is created by deposition. It forms when glaciers transport rocks and sediments as they move, then deposit these materials at the glacier's edge as it melts or retreats.

Are rivers able to erode and deposit land?
Yes they are. Water can erode the river banks - and carry the loose soil to other places - where it's deposited.
What is the term for glacier sediment?
The rock and soil debris accompanying the glacier is moraine. lateral moraine at the sides where avalanches have dropped it, terminal moraine where the glacier finishes, and medial moraine formed from the lateral moraines of two contributory glaciers when they join.
Is a moraine sorted or unsorted?
A moraine is unsorted. Plucking and abrasion by glaciers do not discriminate in size of material debris. It might grind rock matter into what is called "rock flour" and this may be visible at the snout of a glacier, but this and other debris of any size will be be deposited as unsorted till in the form of an end moraine (terminal moraine). A moraine between 2 glaciers is a medial moraine, a moraine along side the glacier is a lateral moraine. Sometimes till can contain glacial erratics... that is, material that came from very far away and does not fit with other materials in the till deposit. Glaciers act as a conveyor belt depending on budget, and material moves with the plasticity of the ice. I hope this helps a little bit.
