What is the primary component of glacial till?

The primary component of glacial till is unconsolidated sediment. Glacial till is the material that is directly deposited by a glacier as it advances and retreats. This sediment consists of a mixture of various particle sizes, including clay, silt, sand, gravel, and boulders, which the glacier has picked up and transported during its movement. As the glacier melts, this mixed material is released, resulting in the characteristic unsorted and unstratified deposits found in glacial till. The variability in particle size is a key feature, distinguishing it from other sediment types.
