Glacial Deposits | Example and Explanation
Glacial deposits are sediments left behind by a moving glacier. They are typically a mixture of unsorted or poorly sorted sediments deposited by a glacier. This material is usually soil and rock. Glacial deposits consist of mineral grains and rock fragments, and they are also called moraines. Two types are generally recognized: till (unsorted, unstratified debris deposited directly from ice) and stratified drift (sorted and stratified debris deposited from glacial meltwater).
