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.

Boulders carried many miles by a glacier are called?

How can an esker be quickly differentiated from a moraine by its sediment?
Since the esker was deposited in a flowing water regime, I would not expect to find many fine clays there. And I would not expect to find any large boulders, >1m in an esker. The moraine on the other hand will have parts that have been formed by rocks grinding each other in a comparatively waterless regime. So it will have lots of fine clays. Boulders >>1m could even be a feature of a moraine.
