Moraine
Landform produced by an accumulation of glacial drift. Terminal moraines form at the ends of glaciers and recessional moraines form a series of low ridges deposited as the glacier recedes; lateral moraines form along the edge of the glacier and medial moraines in the centre where two glaciers have met.
