  • Understanding Glacial Drift: Till vs. Outwash Explained
    The two main types of glacial drift are:

    1. Till: This is unsorted, unstratified material directly deposited by the glacier. It can include a wide range of sizes, from boulders to clay.

    2. Outwash: This is sorted and stratified material deposited by meltwater streams flowing from a glacier. It is typically finer-grained than till, and often forms extensive plains.
