A short answer:
Glacier debris, or more properly called glacial debris,would be made up of bits of rock that were deposited by a glacier after it had melted away.
A longer answer:
Glacial debris is produced by the action of glaciers. As you probably know, glaciers are massive sheets of ice that advance and recede depending on the amount of snow that they get and the climate in the area. Because they are made of ice, they are very strong and able to pick up rocks of all sizes, from large boulders to small specks of sand.
As glaciers creep along the landscape, they often pick up these pieces of rock and transport them as the glacier advances. When the glacier melts, these pieces of rock are left behind as glacial debris.
Glacier erosion is when the ground below the glacier is removed. Glacial deposition is when the debris (eroded ground) is left behind when a glacier melts and the face retreats.

Moraine erratic(apex)
Glacial PlainA l outwash plain is a stratified deposit of sand and gravel transported by water from a melting glacial ice sheet.
A moraine is any glacially formed accumulation of unconsolidated glacial debris (soil and rock) which can occur in currently glaciated and formerly glaciated regions, such as those areas acted upon by a past ice age. This debris may have been plucked off the valley floor as a glacier advanced or it may have fallen off the valley walls as a result of frost wedging or landslide. Moraines may be composed of debris ranging in size from silt-sized glacial flour to large boulders. The debris is typically sub-angular to rounded in shape. Moraines may be on the glacier's surface or deposited as piles or sheets of debris where the glacier has melted. Moraines may also occur when glacier- or iceberg-transported rocks fall into the sea as the ice melts.
an accumulation of boulders, stones, or other debris carried and deposited by a glacier.
Ridges of rock debris that form in front of a glacier are called terminal moraines at the point that the glacier stops moving ahead.
it's a valley glacier, it moves slowly carrying debris and melted snow.

The unsorted rocky debris formed by a melting glacier is known as glacial till. This mixture of rock fragments of various sizes and shapes is deposited by the glacier as it retreats, with no specific order or arrangement. Glacial till can form different landforms, such as moraines or drumlins, depending on how it is deposited.
Moraine is the term used to describe ridges of rock debris left behind by a moving glacier. These ridges can vary in size and shape depending on the glacier's motion and the material it carries. They are a key feature in understanding the past movements of glaciers and their impact on the landscape.

Terminal moraines or terminal
the glacier picks up the sediments, rocks, till, debris, and soil and carries them along while the glacier moves and will eventually drop them.
