When a glacier stops moving and end moraine will be deposited in front of it.
An ice front is likely to be stationary when the rate of ice accumulation in the glacier matches the rate of ice loss due to melting or calving at the front. This equilibrium state is known as a stable glacier front, where there is no net advance or retreat of the ice front.
A glacier snout is the terminus or end point of a glacier where ice and meltwater are released. It is where the glacier meets lower elevations and warmer temperatures, causing melting and ice loss. The snout can vary in shape and size depending on the glacier's dynamics.
moraine
moraine
The leading edge of a glacier.
A glacier is always moving forward (downhill). In the winter, the glacier usually isn't melting and its front edge (or "toe") will advance downhill. In the summer, the toe of the glacier usually melts faster than the glacier is moving forward, causing the front edge of the glacier to recede. If the recession in the summer is greater than the advance in the winter, then the glacier as a whole is receding and will eventually disappear. That is what is currently happening to most of the glaciers in North America and many other places around the world.
When a glacier stops moving and end moraine will be deposited in front of it.
The front of a glacier is called the terminus or terminus face. This is where the glacier ends and may be characterized by ice cliffs or a build-up of glacial debris.
Ridges of rock debris that form in front of a glacier are called terminal moraines at the point that the glacier stops moving ahead.
An ice front is likely to be stationary when the rate of ice accumulation in the glacier matches the rate of ice loss due to melting or calving at the front. This equilibrium state is known as a stable glacier front, where there is no net advance or retreat of the ice front.

A moraine is a line of low hills formed by rock and debris pushed to the front of a glacier as it advances. This material is deposited as the glacier melts, creating distinctive landforms in its path.
When materials are bulldozed at the front of a glacier, they form a ridge-like feature called a moraine. Moraines are composed of a mixture of rock, sediment, and debris that were pushed and carried by the glacier as it moved forward.
