Glacial deposits related to streams of water are called?
it will be D.outwash
What is Sediment laid down by glacial meltwater?
Quick clay would be one phase, where the material is very fine, saturated with liquid, and prone to liquefaction.Varves would be another (word derived from the Scandinavian for wave), and presents as well-layered fine silt on the bed of a glacier fed lake. Probably a seasonal process, with a graded particle size.Outwash Gravels are a little more remote from the glacier, and are generally re-mobilized moraine materials. These will show a dendritic pattern of the streams that formed the deposit.
What is a glacial inlet?
Glacial inlet is called a fiord.
Is sediment of different sized particles left by ice from glaciers called outwash?
No, sediment of different sized particles left by ice from glaciers is called glacial till. Outwash is sediment deposited by meltwater streams flowing away from a glacier.
What is the movement of glacial ice called?
The movement of glacial ice is called glaciation or glacial flow. Glaciers move due to the force of gravity and the deformation of the ice under pressure. This movement can result in the formation of features like moraines, crevasses, and glacial valleys.
What is Sediment of different sized particles left by ice from glaciers is called?
Glacial Till (used to be called 'Boulder Clay'). Sometimes Moraine Debris, but terms like 'moraine' refer to the topography of the deposit rather than the material itself.
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 the glacial landform for mounds or ridges of till?
The glacial landform for mounds or ridges of till is called moraines. Moraines are formed when glaciers deposit rock material and sediment that they have eroded and carried as they move. They can be found along the sides, in the middle, or at the terminus of a glacier.
What are streams that contribute to a river system called?
The streams that contribute to a river system are called tributaries.
What is the time between glacial periods called?
The time between glacial periods is called an interglacial period. It is characterized by warmer temperatures and the retreat of glaciers.
What were layered early pyramids called?
Mastaba's
What is A cloud that is flat and layered is called?
Stratus
