Question
different sized rocks, pebbles, sand, clay, and other material left behind after a glacier melts is called
a morraine
till
an erete
rewatch
Brief Explanations
To solve this, we recall glacial geology terms:
- A moraine is a ridge of till (not the unstratified material itself).
- Till is unsorted sediment (rocks, pebbles, sand, clay) deposited directly by a melting glacier.
- An arete is a sharp mountain ridge formed by glacial erosion, not sediment.
So the material left by glacier melt is till.
