What is a ridge like deposit of sediment at the edge of a glacier called?
A ridge-like deposit of sediment at the edge of a glacier is called a "moraine." Moraines are formed from the accumulation of debris and sediment that has been pushed along by the glacier's movement. They can be classified into different types, such as terminal moraines, which mark the furthest advance of the glacier, and lateral moraines, which form along the sides of the glacier.
What is a glacier load?
My understanding is that every glacier has a certain amount of sediment scraped from the interface of the surrounding bed rock and the moving ice. The total amount of this sediment is the Glacial load. Some significant land features, such as Cape Cod in Massachusetts, are remnants of the load after the ice receded.
What is a winding ridge left by melting glacier?
You may be referring to an "esker," a snake-like deposit of sediment left by a stream of running water underneath a glacier. At the edge of a glacier, a "moraine" also can form. A moraine is a pile of sediment and debris pushed by the glacier that forms alongside the glacier - a lateral moraine - or at the end of a glacier's run - a terminal moraine.
Which agent of erosion deposits irregular mounds of unsorted sediment with parallel scratches on rounded particles?
Glaciers are the agent of erosion that deposit irregular mounds of unsorted sediment with parallel scratches on rounded particles. This type of deposit is called a moraine, which is formed as the glacier moves and carries a mixture of different-sized sediments that get deposited when the glacier melts.

What is glacial load?
