Glacial drift

Glacial drift are known to be coarse graded and extremely heterogeneous sediment of a glacier. Also, It is the transportation of rock material such as silt, gravel, sand, clay or boulders that is deposited directly from the ice or running water emanating from glacier. However, glacier origin refers to transportation, erosion and deposition by glacier.
