Moraine   Listen
noun
Moraine  n.  (Geol.) An accumulation of earth and stones carried forward and deposited by a glacier. Note: If the moraine is at the extremity of the glacier it is a terminal moraine; if at the side, a lateral moraine; if parallel to the side on the central portion of the glacier, a medial moraine. In the last case it is formed by the union of the lateral moraines of the branches of the glacier. A ground moraine is one beneath the mass of ice.
