A Boulder, or Talus, Cave is simply an enterable void or set of voids between boulders and the rock-face from which they have fallen.
Collapses within existing karst, sea or lava caves may choke the passage or chamber with boulders, and such chambers are often called "boulder chambers", but that does not form the cave, and it is not the same as a true boulder cave.

How are boulders made?
Boulders are typically formed through the process of weathering and erosion. As rocks are broken down by processes such as freezing and thawing, wind, or water, larger pieces can break off to form boulders. These boulders can then be transported and deposited by glaciers, rivers, or landslides.
Is a till formed by erosion or deposition?

How is a boulder cave formed?
A Boulder, or Talus Cave rather stretches the definition of "cave", but it's simply a void or set of voids left between fallen boulders and their source rock-face. A cave's chamber that is heavily obstructed or even terminated by collapsed rock is often called a "boulder chamber", but it's not correct to say that collapses form caves. They don't - they modify them.

Boulders carried many miles by a glacier are called?
Boulders that have been carried by a glacier have a couple names, but most commonly they are referred to as glacial boulders or erratics. If you're interested in learning more about glacial boulders, the Iowa Department of Natural Resources has a pretty good article about them; as Iowa and most of the American Midwest were covered by glaciers during the last Ice Age, glacial boulders are fairly common there. http://www.igsb.uiowa.edu/browse/boulders/boulders.htm
