How do erosion and deposition work together to create a moraine?

Waves cause erosion along coastlines and deposit sand away from the shore.
Surface water in rivers causes erosion, carrying sediment that gets deposited near an ocean.
Glaciers cause erosion as they melt, carrying sediment that gets deposited in a thick layer.
Winds cause erosion by blowing around sand that gets deposited in large piles.

Moraine refers to glacially formed debris (which could be regolith or rock) that occurs when glaciated regions on Earth undergoes a geomorphological process.

Moraine enables the Glaciers cause erosion as they melt, carrying sediment that gets deposited in a thick layer.
