The depressions left behind are called kettles. The raised areas are called moraines.

An outwash plain is formed near glacial areas. The glacier melts and loses not only water, but solid deposits it has picked up over time. The deposits are carried away with the meltwater and deposited over a broad plain. The larger solid deposits like boulders are typically found near the glacier, while smaller deposits such as silt can be found at a fair distance from the glacier.
Drumlins and eskers are found in glacial areas. Drumlins are hills made of glacial sediment and till, while eskers are long ridges of glacial drift.

As far as climate was concerned, Wegener found glacial deposits, the remains of drifts of debris compiled by glacial action in tropical areas of the earth, where it was much too warm for glaciers to exist.

All over the world. They can be found anywhere from on a mountain, like at Mount Washington's Lake of the Clouds Hut, to underground, like at Howe's Caverns.

Evidence for past glaciations includes glacial landforms like moraines and drumlins, glacial striations on bedrock caused by the movement of glaciers, and the presence of glacial erratics, which are large rocks transported by glaciers and deposited in areas where they are not native. Additionally, the study of ice cores from polar ice sheets provides a record of past climate conditions and the extent of glaciations.

A glacial horn is the most extreme type of pyramidal peak. A glacial horn is often known as a horn, which is a mountaintop that has been modified by the action of ice in glaciation and frost weathering. Glacial horns are formed by glacial erosion in mountainous areas.
