How does glacial till differ from stratified drift describe one glacial feature made of each type of glacial 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.
