Moraine is rock debris, fallen or plucked from a mountain and transported by glaciers or ice sheets. The moraine may be lying on the glacier's surface or have been deposited as piles or sheets of debris, where the glacier has melted. Till is another word used to describe the sediments left by melted glaciers but is not used to describe debris lying on a glacier's surface.

terminal moraines which are deposited by retreating glaciers. The residue is sand/gravel/etc.
