What is sediment laid down by glacial meltwater called?
stratified drift ;D
What is a glacier deposit that is sorted into layers based on the size of the rock material?
A stratified drift
When you right continental drift does it have to be capitalized?
No, only Continental Drift Theory.
Why is the continental drift theory a theory and not a scientific law?
The Continental Drift theory is a theory because there is no evidence to support it. Alfred Wegener developed the Continental Drift theory in the 1800's.
What is the rate of continental drift?
The continental drift is still taking place.
A glacial deposit layered by the action of water is what type of drift?
It's a stratified drift.
Stratified drift consists mostly of?
Sand and Gravel
What is the definition of stratified drift?
Stratified drift refers to sediment deposits arranged in distinct layers, typically left behind by glaciers or meltwater streams. These layers can vary in composition, size, and sorting based on the specific conditions during deposition.
What difference between stratified drift and till?
toe and wedge
What is difference between till and stratified drift?
toe and wedge
What are the two types of glacial drift are?
The two types of glacial drift are till, which is unsorted sediment deposited directly by the ice, and stratified drift, which is sorted sediment deposited by glacial meltwater.
What feature is not a result of a glacier carving out rock a it moves?
Stratified drift
How does glacial till differ from stratified drift describe one glacial feature made of each type of glacial drift?
Glacial till is unsorted and unstratified sediment deposited directly by a glacier, while stratified drift is sorted and stratified sediment deposited by glacial meltwater. An example of glacial till is a moraine, which is a ridge of mixed debris left behind by a moving glacier. An example of stratified drift is an outwash plain, which is a flat, gently sloping area formed by the deposition of sorted sediments carried by glacial meltwater.
Sediment laid down by glacial meltwater is called?
stratified drift ;D
What is sediment laid down by glacial meltwater called?
stratified drift ;D
What do stratified drift consist mostly of?
Stratified drift consists mostly of a mixture of sand, silt, and gravel that has been deposited by glaciers and then sorted and layered by water. These deposits can form distinct layers or beds within the sediment.
What is a glacier deposit that is sorted into layers based on the size of the rock material?
A stratified drift
