Melt-out till is the layer of sediment deposited by water that melts from a glacier. It is created as the meltwater carries sediment away from the glacier and deposits it in the surrounding area, creating a thin layer of till that covers the landscape. Lodgement till is sediment that is deposited by a glacier as it moves across the landscape and is usually thicker than melt-out till. Medial and terminal moraines are ridges of sediment that are deposited by a glacier and indicate the extent of its advance or retreat.
