 mo·raine /məˈren/
 堆石

From: Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913)

 Mo·raine n.  Geol. An accumulation of earth and stones carried forward and deposited by a glacier.
 Note: ☞ If the moraine is at the extremity of the glacier it is a terminal moraine; if at the side, a lateral moraine; if parallel to the side on the central portion of the glacier, a medial moraine.  See Illust. of Glacier.  In the last case it is formed by the union of the lateral moraines of the branches of the glacier.  A ground moraine is one beneath the mass of ice.
