Why is moraine material generally unsorted?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A glacier directly deposits materials of different sizes
The governing concept is glacial deposition and poor sediment sorting. A glacier carries clay, sand, gravel, and large boulders together within, beneath, or at its margin. When the ice melts or retreats, this mixed load is released directly, without the sustained flowing-water action that separates particles by size and weight. Thus option A is correct. Wind and many water processes sort sediment more effectively, while groundwater dissolution is unrelated.
