A recessional moraine is where deposits are dropped from a glacier where there has been interrupted retreat. This means it must remain still, long enough for material to build. It is often parallel to terminal moraine.
An extensive pile of till (loose debris & rocks) called an end moraine can build up at the front of the glacier and is typically crescent shaped. Two kinds of end moraines are recognized: terminal and recessional moraines. A terminal moraine is the ridge of till that marks the farthest advance of the glacier before it started to recede. A recessional moraine is one that develops at the front of the receding glacier; a series of recessional moraines mark the path of a retreating glacier.
There are many types of moraines. These include medial moraine, lateral moraine, ground moraine, and terminal moraine. The type that forms along each side of a glacier is a terminal moraine. The one that forms from unsorted rock materials is called a medial moraine.
A terminal moraine, also called end moraine, is a moraine that forms at the end of the glacier called the snout. Terminal moraines mark the maximum advance of the glacier.
Moraine
A recessional moraine is where deposits are dropped from a glacier where there has been interrupted retreat. This means it must remain still, long enough for material to build. It is often parallel to terminal moraine.
An extensive pile of till (loose debris & rocks) called an end moraine can build up at the front of the glacier and is typically crescent shaped. Two kinds of end moraines are recognized: terminal and recessional moraines. A terminal moraine is the ridge of till that marks the farthest advance of the glacier before it started to recede. A recessional moraine is one that develops at the front of the receding glacier; a series of recessional moraines mark the path of a retreating glacier.
The terminal moraine is the sediment deposition furthest from the source of the glacier. It is also known as an end moraine, however depending on recession or advancement of the glacier, the end moraine is not always the terminal moraine. Lateral moraines are lines of sediment deposited along the outer walls or boundaries of a glacier and can run from the top of the glacier down to its end.

Lateral moraine, Medial moraine and Terminal moraine.
There are many types of moraines. These include medial moraine, lateral moraine, ground moraine, and terminal moraine. The type that forms along each side of a glacier is a terminal moraine. The one that forms from unsorted rock materials is called a medial moraine.
There'll be no cover on that moraine!
