Glacial drift.
A large boulder left behind by a glacier is called a glacial erratic. These erratics are often significantly different from the surrounding rocks, providing clues about the glacier's movement and the rocks it passed over during its journey.
Moraine.
The soil and rocks left behind by a glacier are called moraine. Moraines can be classified as lateral, medial, or terminal, depending on where they are deposited in relation to the glacier. These deposits play a vital role in shaping the landscape and providing insights into glacial history.

The debris left behind by a melting glacier is called "moraine." Moraines consist of a mixture of soil, rocks, and sediment that the glacier has eroded and transported. They are typically found at the edges or terminus of the glacier, forming ridges or piles that mark the glacier's former extent.
The rock is called a glacial erratic when it is left behind by a glacier, and is of a completely different material composition than the rocks on which it was deposited.
