Answer: Stratified drift

Stratified drift is a phenomena in which glacier melts and streams of melt water flow from edges, surface and beneath the glacier. The melted glacier water contains fine particles of rocks erupted from beneath the glacier due to glacier erosion. The area where the melted water flows it takes along with it these fine particles of rocks and these rock particles get sedimented.
