How does glaciofluvial deposition differ from deposition directly by glacial ice?
Glaciofluvial deposition-These deposits formed at the coast, which are eroded by waves and currents. This deposition includes sand, silt, clay, gravel from the ice sheet or glaciers. These deposits are covered with blocks of ice. when the glaciers or ice sheets lose their part due to the melting of ice or rainfall or through any tunnel below glaciers, that deposits runoff through slopes and store somewhere else makes the glaciofluvial deposition.
Glacial ice deposition-Glacial ice formed through the precipitation in the form of snowfall, when the temperature is below freezing point, that snow covers a large surface, after a long period with continue low temperature that snow turns into glacial ice.
