A terminal moraine , also called end moraine , is a moraine that forms at the end of the glacier called the snout. Terminal moraines mark the maximum advance of the glacier. An end moraine is at t...

Terminal moraine: When balance is maintained between the melting of a glacier and its forward advance, the debris carried on (superglacial), within (englacial), and dragged along the bottom (subglacial) is dumped at that point and builds up a heterogeneous mass of the transported material called the terminal moraine.

The Harbor Hill Moraine represents the terminal moraine of the most recent advance of Wisconsin Stage glacier which reached its most southward advance about 18,000 years ago (it was probably completely melted in the NYC area in the range of 13,000 to 12,000 years ago).

Nellie Juan Glacier leaves behind a terminal or end moraine. ... In its steady state, a glacier is always carrying sediment to its snout and leaving it there, where it piles up like this in a terminal moraine or end moraine. Advancing glaciers push the end moraine further, perhaps smearing it out and running it over,

Without the forward momentum and in the face of higher melt rates, the glacier appears to retreat, leaving the wall of boulders and debris marking the further most point of progress. This wall is called the terminal moraine and evidence of past advances is clearly seen from the air.

The glacier's terminal moraine (rock and rubble deposited in front of the glacier) dammed the valley near the narrow western end, and the glacier's subsequent melting created ancient Lake Yosemite. This moraine can still be seen extending across the valley as a broad hill between El Capitan and Bridalveil Fall.
