Definition: GLACIAL DRIFT |
GLACIAL DRIFT1. (Geol.), earth and rocks which have been transported by moving ice, land ice, or icebergs; bowlder drift. |
| Domain | Definitions |
Geography | An unstratified glacial deposit of clay, silt, sand, gravel, and boulders covering part of the rock surface in those regions which were glaciated during the ice age ; a moraine occurring at the bottom of a glacier, consisting of material frozen in the bottom, and pushed along over its bed. When the glacier melts, this material is usually deposited in a relatively thin sheet over the area occupied by the glacier. Source: European Union. (references) |
Mining | Boulders, till, gravel, sand, or clay transported and deposited by a glacier or its meltwater. See also:glacial overburden; drift.Syn:glacial deposits. (references) |
