A boulder left behind by a retreating glacier is known as an erratic. A glacier is a moving river of ice and snow.
The material left behind by a retreating glacier, including boulders, sand, clay, and silt, is known as moraine.
A kettle is typically formed by deposition, when a block of ice left behind by a retreating glacier eventually melts. This process creates a depression in the landscape.
Till, moraine, and kettle are examples of glacial landforms. Till refers to unsorted material deposited by a glacier, moraine is a landform composed of till deposited by a glacier, and a kettle is a depression formed by the melting of a block of ice left behind by a retreating glacier.
A kame is a geological feature which means an unusual shaped mound or hill. It consists of sand, till or gravel. It is created in a depression on a retreating glacier and is then left on the land surface.
"Eskir"EskerA glacial ridge could be defined as several things:- An arête: a steep ridge formed by glaciers.- Corries: formed through glacier action.- Eskir/esker: a ridge of sand and gravel deposited by glacial movement.- Serac: a block of ice formed by intersecting crevasses on a glacier
This is likely referring to till, which is a mixture of unsorted materials (rock, sand, and silt) left behind by a retreating glacier. Till layers can vary in thickness and composition, and they are often seen in areas where glaciers have once existed.
Cape Cod is considered a terminal glacial moraine, meaning that it was created by debris left behind by a retreating glacier.

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.
