Glacial outwash is sand and gravel deposited by running water from the melting ice of a glacier. When rivers of melt water wash away at glacial till deposits, they carry the finer clay-sized materials away and leave behind thick outwash deposits of sand and gravel that concentrate in valleys.The glacial outwash then forms an outwash plain, known as a sandur, formed from the meltwater of glaciers.hen rivers of melt water wash away at glacial till deposits, they carry the finer clay-sized materials away and leave behind thick outwash deposits of sand and gravel that concentrate in valleys.
