In geology, a lobe refers to a rounded, projecting segment of a larger feature, such as a lobe of a glacier or a lobe of sediment deposited by a meandering river. Lobes are commonly seen in various geological formations and landforms.
Glacial deposits, often referred to as glacial drift, are the general term for all sediments deposited by a glacier. This can include material like till, moraine, and glacial erratics left behind as the glacier moves and melts.
Glacial drift is the term for all sediments of glacier origin.
Stratification as this is a term that describes the layering of rocks and so is not a term that is related to sediment transport (i.e. erosion) but is instead the result of deposition, compaction and cementation.
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.

No! The term igneous refers to fire. Sediment refers tomaterial deposited from rocks that have been weathered and eroded.
An annually deposited sedimentary layer is called a varve. Originally the word referred only to those annual layers of sediment deposited in a lake by glaciers, but now the more general use is accepted. Another term used in the literature is "annually laminated."
The term for soil that settles in water is sediment. Sediment is the material that is carried and deposited by water, wind, or glaciers.

Sedimentation.
Glacial drift is the term for all sediments of glacier origin.
Soil sediment refers to particles that have been eroded and deposited by water, wind, or ice, typically found in bodies of water or at the base of mountains. Dirt is a more colloquial term that refers to any soil or grime on surfaces, often used to describe unwanted or unclean particles. Ultimately, soil sediment is a specific type of soil fraction, while dirt is a broadly used term.
Soils deposited by wind are known as loess soils.
Stratification
We use the term deposition to describe the process by which sediment is laid down in a body of water. The sediment is said to have been deposited at the bottom of the body of water, and more may follow to build a layer of sediment.
