A short answer: Glacier debris, or more properly called glacial debris, would be made up of bits of rock that were deposited by a glacier after it had melted away. A longer answer: Glacial debris is produced by the action of glaciers. As you probably know, glaciers are massive sheets of ice that advance and recede depending on the amount of snow that they get and the climate in the area. Because they are made of ice, they are very strong and able to pick up rocks of all sizes, from large boulders to small specks of sand. As glaciers creep along the landscape, they often pick up these pieces of rock and transport them as the glacier advances. When the glacier melts, these pieces of rock are left behind as glacial debris.
