A supraglacial moraine is a type of glacial landform that consists of debris and sediment accumulated on the surface of a glacier. This material is typically transported to the glacier's surface by processes such as rockfall or meltwater transport from surrounding slopes. As the glacier moves and melts, these moraines can become exposed, forming ridges or mounds that reflect the glacier's past movement and dynamics. Supraglacial moraines play a significant role in understanding glacial geology and climate change.
medial moraine
Terminal moraine is the type of moraine that marks the maximum extent of a glacier. This ridge of sediment is deposited at the furthest point reached by the glacier before it began to retreat.
The moraine that piles up beside a glacier is called a lateral moraine. It forms along the sides of the glacier as it moves and carries debris and sediment that is picked up along its path.
This is known as a Lateral moraine. Please see the related link for more information.
The rock and soil debris accompanying the glacier is moraine. lateral moraine at the sides where avalanches have dropped it, terminal moraine where the glacier finishes, and medial moraine formed from the lateral moraines of two contributory glaciers when they join.
Lateral moraine, Medial moraine and Terminal moraine.

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.
