moraine in English

noun
1
a mass of rocks and sediment carried down and deposited by a glacier, typically as ridges at its edges or extremity.
It is also likely that mass movement is much more common during periods when glaciers are retreating; large moraines and steep valley sides are then unstable because they are no longer supported by the glacier.
