How did glaciers change the land of the Northeast region?

Asked by blankita

Answer (3)

Glaciers changed the land by wearing down mountains with deep grooves making hills/mountains considering the Appalachian mountains.

As glaciers slowly moved down mountains and hills, their immense weight "scraped" the landscape over time, and created valleys and deposits of minerals. The Northeast region is just one example. Hope this helps!

Glaciers significantly altered the Northeast region's landscape by eroding the land and depositing materials, creating unique topographical features such as U-shaped valleys and drumlins. The glaciers' movement shaped the terrain, resulting in diverse landforms and contributing to the formation of lakes and newer soils. Overall, their effects have left a lasting legacy on the geography of the region.
