Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The depositional landform at the farthest advance of a glacier is called a terminal moraine. It is formed by the rocks and debris that were carried by the glacier and then deposited at its furthest point of advance. Lateral and medial moraines are formed along the sides and middle of a glacier, respectively, and stratified moraines are layers of sediment and debris that are sorted by size and deposited by meltwater streams flowing over or under a glacier.
