I believe the answer is: Glacial deposition

Till is part of glacial drift that is deposited directly into the Glacier, Moraine refers to the glacial debris that is accumulated and deposited on a former region where the glacier has passed. Kettle is part of the glacier that deposited in the sediment on the outwash plain.

Till, moraine, and kettle are examples of glacial deposition. Glaciers are large bodies of ice that move slowly over land. As glaciers move, they pick up rocks, soil, and other debris, which is called till. When the glacier melts, it deposits this till, forming ridges or mounds called moraines.

Kettles are large holes or depressions left behind when a block of ice gets buried in the ground and melts.
