What term refers to sediment that is deposited by glacier ice?
The term that refers to sediment deposited by glacier ice is "glacial till." This material is typically a mixture of various sizes of particles, ranging from clay to boulders, and is formed as glaciers advance and retreat. Glacial till is unsorted and unstratified, contrasting with sediment deposited by water, which tends to be sorted by size.
What is term given to soil that settles in water?

What is the term for bits of rock and dirt?

What term is used to identify windblown sediment of silt and clay?
Wind blown sediment is known as 'Aeolian.'
Which term describes the annual layers of sediment deposited in lakes and fjords by meltwater from glaciers?
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."
What term is used for glaciers picking up and carrying sediment?
erosion
What is the general term of culture?
The general term of culture is culture.
What is the collective term for the processes compaction and cementation?
The collective term for the processes of compaction and cementation is lithification. These processes are responsible for turning loose sediment into sedimentary rock through the application of pressure and the binding of sediment grains.
What is the correct term for when wave energy lowers and drops beach sediment?
Wave erosion is the correct term for when wave energy lowers and drops beach sediment. This process involves the wearing away of coastal areas by the force of the waves, leading to the erosion of the shoreline and deposition of sediment in other areas.
What is called when sediment is laid down in a body of water?
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.
How do you spell fillterisation in chemistry?
