<P> A terminal moraine , also called end moraine , is a type of moraine that forms at the snout ( edge ) of a glacier , marking its maximum advance . At this point , debris that has accumulated by plucking and abrasion , and has been pushed by the front edge of the ice , is driven no further and instead is dumped in a heap . Because the glacier acts very much like a conveyor belt , the longer it stays in one place , the greater the amount of material that will be deposited . The moraine is left as the marking point of the terminal extent of the ice . </P>
