The rock and soil debris accompanying the glacier is moraine. lateral moraine at the sides where avalanches have dropped it, terminal moraine where the glacier finishes, and medial moraine formed from the lateral moraines of two contributory glaciers when they join.

What is a winding ridge left by melting glacier?
You may be referring to an "esker," a snake-like deposit of sediment left by a stream of running water underneath a glacier. At the edge of a glacier, a "moraine" also can form. A moraine is a pile of sediment and debris pushed by the glacier that forms alongside the glacier - a lateral moraine - or at the end of a glacier's run - a terminal moraine.
