Wisconsin had glaciers thousands of years ago but there are none currently in the state.
Glaciers have shaped the landscape of Wisconsin in a number of ways. For example, the irregular landscape and boundaries of the state are a direct result of glacial melting.
The two different glaciers are valley and continental glaciers and they are different because continental glaciers are the largest, and valley glaciers are on the top of mountain peaks.

Wisconsin
The Great Lakes and the Finger Lakes were carved by ice glaciation in the valleys. Lakes in Minnesota and Wisconsin were gouged out by glaciers and later filled with water from melting glaciers. Niagara falls was formed when the glaciers created dams on the rivers and changed the flow.
Glaciers changed the face of North America with the following effects:An ice sheet covered most of Canada.The southwest received heavy rains.
If the tilt were zero - of the equator were parallel to the ecliptic - then there wouldn't be any seasons as we know them. For Wisconsin, that might make life quite miserable. For one thing, the glaciers that once did cover Wisconsin - and northern Illinois! - might still be there.
W Wisconsin is a wonderful state.I I-94 comes here from ChicagoS Scott Walker is the governor.C Capital city is Madison.O On Wisconsin is the state song.N Not nice to teachers, the governor lowered their salaries.S Superior is a city in the far north.I Ice Age glaciers did not get the Driftless area.N Nelson Dewey was the first governor of Wisconsin.
Glaciers once covered most of Wisconsin and parts northward. The warming over this period certainly made Canada more livable.
There are 2 main types of glaciers, Continental is one, they float away from central regions. The second is alpine or valley which are the glaciers that flow down the valley from the mountain.
That's because a longgg time ago during the ice age giant glaciers(Huge ice rocks) pushed through the land and then later melted.
The warming of the past has certainly caused many changes in our area. In Wisconsin here we now have farmland where glaciers were thousands of years ago. This has turned our area into one that many people can enjoy and live in. Glaciers make the growing of crops very difficult.
