Deposition from ice happens mostly when the temperature is high enough. The lowlands at the edge of ice sheets and glaciers have deposits that have been made by melted ice (fluvioglacial). Glacial deposits are those dropped directly underneath the ice. The table below shows many of the features of a landscape made by melting ice.
| Feature | How it was formed | Appearance |
| Moraine | Rock carried by the glacier | Makes the ice look "discoloured" |
| Terminal Moraine | Material "bulldozed" by a glacier and left at the end of the ice sheet or glacier | A low curved ridge. Lies across a valley when made by a glacier |
| Till (boulder clay) | The moraine from the ice is dropped directly down | A unsorted deposit, that is a jumble of rock fragments of different sizes mixed together |
| Moraine-dammed Lakes | Water melting from ice is trapped behind a terminal moraine | Often long and narrow |
| Outwash Plain | Melt water streams dropped layers of deposits | Flat area with sorted deposits, that is separated into layers with similar sized fragments |
| Eskers | Melt water streams flowing through the ice become choked with deposits. The deposits are left after the ice has melted | Low, winding gravel ridges, roughly parallel to the direction of ice flow |
| Loess | Fine grains of moraine which has been transported and deposited by wind | Flat or gently undulating lowlands |
| Drumlin | Moving ice moulds the moraine underneath it | Low hills in the shape of half an egg |
