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

    * Till: This is unsorted, unstratified material directly deposited by a glacier. It can range in size from clay to boulders and often contains a mixture of rock types.

    * Outwash: This is sorted and stratified material that has been transported and deposited by meltwater flowing from a glacier. Outwash deposits are typically found in front of glaciers and are characterized by gravel, sand, and silt.

    Let me know if you would like more details about either type of glacial drift!
