Glaciers push up mounds of dirt as the advance forward.

When they recede, they leave these mounds of earth, debris and rock

What are these mounds called? In my ancient memory, I thought they were called doldrums, but this doesn't seem to be right judging from the responses I have obtained from this site.

The hills are called moraines or just a moraine.

Hills left by glaciers are known as moraines. Moraines are formed when glaciers transport and deposit sediments and rocks at their edges or as ridges within the glacier. These hills can vary in size and shape depending on the flow and behavior of the glacier.
