Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A till plain is a characteristic area of low, rolling relief with unsorted materials. Deranged drainage patterns may be present due to the chaotic deposition of these materials by glaciers. Valley trains and outwash plains also have unsorted materials but are typically associated with glaciers that have already retreated. Lateral and medial moraines are composed of sorted materials deposited along the sides and center of glaciers, respectively. None of these features are typically associated with deranged drainage patterns.
