Deposits of clay, sand and gravel transported by glacial action and sometimes stratified by running water. (As in the Antler Creek system, there was greater glacial drift than in Williams or Lightning Creeks.)
rock material (from clay particles to boulders) transported by glacial ice and then deposited by or from the ice, or by running water emanating from a glacier.
The general term for all glacial deposits, both unsorted and sorted (see Stratified Drift).
A generic term applied to all glacial and glaciofluvial deposits.
More often referred to as "glacial diamicton" glacial drift is essentially surface material picked up and deposited by a glacier. Also known as " till".
Sediment that is either in transport in glaciers or deposited by glaciers.
sediment transported or deposited by glaciers or the water melting from a glacier
The general term applied to glacial deposits; interchangeable with glacial till.
( Ped.). A general term for the rock debris that has been transported by glaciers and is deposited, either directly from the ice or from the melt water, on melting, of the glacier. It may be heterogeneous or it may be asserted. ( SSSA).
A general term for all material transported and deposited directly by or from glacial ice.
Pulverized and other rock material transported by glacial ice and then deposited. Also, the sorted and unsorted material deposited by streams flowing from glaciers.
Materials transported by glaciers and deposited directly from the ice of from the meltwater.
A load of rock material transported and deposited by a glacier.
All rock material in transport by glacial ice, and all deposits predominantly of glacial origin made in the sea or in bodies of glacial meltwater, including rocks rafted by icebergs. "Glacial drift occurs as scattered rock fragments, as till [rocks mixed with finer material], and as outwash [fine material with no rocks]. Contrast with angular drift."(from Glossary of Arctic and Subarctic Terms 1955).

clay, gravel, sand, or other rock material transported and deposited by a glacier. [AHDOS
is the loose and unsorted rock debris distributed by glaciers and glacial meltwaters. Rocks may be dropped in place by the melting ice; they may be rolled to the ice margins, or they may be deposited by meltwater streams. Collectively, these deposits are called glacial drift. Till refers to the debris deposited directly by the glacier. Rock debris rolls off the glacier edges and builds piles of loose unconsolidated rocks called glacier moraines. Lateral moraines form along the side of a glacier and curl into a terminal moraine.
