What is a ridge at the farthest point reached by a glacier?
This is known as a Lateral moraine. Please see the related link for more information.
What is a pile of rocks left by galciers?
It is known as Moraine.
What glacial features results from deposition?
Moraines, drumlins, eskers, and outwash plains are glacial features that result from deposition. Moraines are ridges of till deposited along the edges of a glacier, drumlins are elongated hills of glacial till, eskers are long, winding ridges of sand and gravel, and outwash plains are flat areas of sand and gravel deposited by meltwater streams flowing away from the glacier.
What is the difference between a terminal moraine and a recessional 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.

What is the bony eyebrow ridges called?
The frontal bone contains what is commonly known as eyebrow ridges. This bone is part of the skull.
Elevated ridges along the flood plain are known as?
Leeves
What is the debris of boulder and coarse material carried by glaciers?
The debris of boulders and coarse material carried by glaciers is known as moraine. Moraines can be found at the edge, sides, and base of glaciers and are deposited as the glacier moves and melts. They can vary in size and shape depending on the glacier's movement and the type of material being transported.
