The correct answer is:

Morain

Step-by-step explanation:

A moraine is any glacially formed gathering of unconsolidated glacial detritus that occurs in both currently and previously glaciated regions on Earth, completed geomorphological methods. Moraines are accretions of dirt and rocks that have fallen onto the glacier surface or have been pushed along by the glacier as it moves. The dirt and rocks composing moraines can differ in size from powdery silt to large rocks and cliffs.

Moraine

A moraine is a material left behind by a moving glacier. This material is usually soil and rock. Just as rivers carry along along all sorts of debris and silt that eventually builds to form deltas, glaciers transport all sorts of dirt and boulders that build up to form moraines. It only show up in places that have, or used to have, glaciers.
