Glacial deposits are called till. Wind deposits are referred to as aeolian deposits and include loess, dunes, and hills.
The three forms of erosion are water, wind, and ice. Water erosion occurs through the movement of water, wind erosion happens when wind carries and deposits sediment, and ice erosion is when glaciers or ice sheets move and reshape the landscape.
Sand dunes and loess deposits are two types of deposits formed by wind erosion and deposition. Sand dunes are hills of sand that form in areas with strong winds, while loess deposits are fine, wind-blown sediment that accumulates over time to create thick layers of fertile soil.
till is the name of the material. In most cases all glacial-related deposits are unsorted and unstratified.
Glacial deposits may form when glaciers move along mountains and break off sediments. These deposits can include a variety of sediment types such as till, moraines, and erratic boulders. As the glacier moves, it erodes and transports these sediments, eventually depositing them once the glacier melts.
Glaciers erode by scraping and plucking rock and sediment as they move, creating u-shaped valleys, cirques, and moraines as their deposits. Water erodes through processes like abrasion and dissolution, forming features such as canyons, caves, and alluvial fans, depositing sediments like sand and gravel. Wind erodes by abrasion and deflation, creating features like sand dunes and ventifacts, with deposits such as sand and silt.
The types of wind deposits include dunes, loess deposits, and sand sheets. Dunes are mounds of sand shaped by wind, while loess deposits consist of fine-grained sediment deposited by wind. Sand sheets are large areas covered with wind-blown sand.

by the wind
Four types of erosion are water erosion (caused by flowing water), wind erosion (caused by the action of wind), glacial erosion (caused by moving glaciers), and gravitational erosion (caused by gravity pulling material downhill).
