Which are not sediment transporting agents?
stratification
Can you describe a till?
Till could be referring to a shortened version of until, or a glacial till which is unsorted glacial sediment.
Sediment laid down by glacial meltwater is called?
stratified drift ;D
What is the name of a small depression created by the melting of a chunk of ice in glacial sediment?
a kettle
What makes Glacial melt water appear milky?
Glacial melt water can appear milky due to the presence of finely ground rock particles and sediment called glacial flour. When glaciers move, they grind against rocks and create this fine sediment, which is suspended in the meltwater. The suspended particles scatter light, giving the water a milky appearance.
Which are not sediment transporting agents?
stratification
When does a glacier deposit the sediment it is carrying away?
A glacier deposits the sediment it is carrying away when it reaches the end of its flow path, where the melting ice releases the sediments it was transporting. This process forms various landforms such as moraines, outwash plains, and glacial till.
What is the sediment laid down by glacial meltwater?
The sediment laid down by glacial meltwater is called glacial outwash or till. Glacial outwash consists of sorted sediments like sand, gravel, and silt that are deposited by flowing water, while till is unsorted sediment deposited directly by the glacier as it melts and retreats.
Can ice carry sediment?
Yes. Glaciers carry large amounts of sediment. When that sediment is deposited it is called glacial till.
Can you describe a till?
Till could be referring to a shortened version of until, or a glacial till which is unsorted glacial sediment.
What is glacial deposit composed of sediment with many size and shapes?
till
What well-sorted sediment results from glacerial erosion?
Glacial erosion typically produces well-sorted sediment known as glacial till. This sediment is composed of a wide range of particle sizes, from clay to boulders, due to the mixing and transport by the glacier. Glacial till is often unsorted and can be deposited directly by the glacier or as moraines when the glacier retreats.
What are the two types of glacial drift are?
Till and stratified drift :D Did you get this from Portola MS in 6th grade workbook for Science?
What is a sediment laid down by glacial meltwater called?
A sediment laid down by glacial meltwater is called glaciofluvial sediment. It is formed when the meltwater carries and deposits sediments as it flows away from the glacier. These sediments can include sand, gravel, and boulders.
Sediment laid down by glacial meltwater is called?
stratified drift ;D
What is sediment laid down by glacial meltwater called?

Explain the difference between erosion and deposition?
Glacial erosion is the process by which a glacial flows over the land, picking up rocks. Glacial deposition is the process by which a glacier gathers a huge amount of rock and soil as it Erodes the land in the path
