eskers
These winding ridges of sand and small bits of gravel formed from the outwash of a melting glacier are called eskers. They are created when meltwater streams flowing beneath or within the ice deposit sediments as the glacier retreats. Eskers typically have a sinuous shape due to the flowing water underneath the glacier.
The unsorted rocky debris formed by a melting glacier is called moraine. Moraines can come in various forms, such as lateral moraines, medial moraines, and terminal moraines, depending on where they are deposited by the glacier. This debris is a mixture of different rock sizes and types that were picked up and transported by the moving glacier.
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.
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.
A long narrow glacier that forms between mountains is called a valley glacier. These glaciers flow down valleys, eroding the surrounding landscape as they move. Valley glaciers are common in mountainous regions around the world.
A small country road is typically called a "lane" or a "byway." These roads are often narrow and winding, providing access to rural areas or connecting smaller communities.

Glacial PlainA l outwash plain is a stratified deposit of sand and gravel transported by water from a melting glacial ice sheet.
All types of glacier sedimentary deposits are called drift. Winding ridges of sand and small bits of gravel formed by the out wash of melting ice from glaciers are called eskers kames, or moraines. Moraines are also found on the surface of glaciers. Kames form on flat or inclined ice, in holes, or in cracks. They may also be called scree and talus which also come from eroding mountains.
There are several names: outwash is one and moraines are another. The outwash forms a flat area sometimes called outwash planes and the moraines are hilly.

The area that is melting faster than it is accumulating is the "Zone of Ablation." The very bottom end of a glacier is typically called its "foot."
