A thin layer of till that blankets the landscape after a glacier melts is called ground moraine.

Ground moraines are till-covered areas with irregular topography and no ridges, often forming gently rolling hills or plains. They are accumulated at the base of the ice as lodgment till, but may also be deposited as the glacier retreats.
