25 Deposition by Glaciers Till - a mixture (unsorted) of boulders, sand, clay and silt. Glaciers have filled entire valleys w/ till making them flat. Outwash - material deposited by the glacier as it melts, similar to river deposits. Outwash is sorted or separated by the size of its particles. (boulder, gravel, sand, silt)

26 lateral moraine medial moraine

27 Till Erosion Moraine - mounds of materials deposited along the sides, in the middle or at the end of the glacier as it stops moving & begins to melt.

28 Till Erosion Erratic – Large boulders dropped by glaciers
