What changed ohios landforms and created Lake Erie and other waterways?

Was Lake Erie a glacier?
No, Lake Erie is a glacial lake. That means over thousands of years, glaciers approached and receded across what is now Canada and now the US. The friction of ice moving across the land carved out 5 basins. At first, the basins were small and filled with rain water and water that melted as the glaciers receded. The basins got bigger and deeper over those thousands of years. We now call those basins The Great Lakes, one of which is Lake Erie. By the way, a lake can never be a glacier, just as a glacier can never be a lake. But glaciers can carve out deep holes where lakes can form. Lake Erie averages a 62 foot depth, and 210 feet at it's deepest.

How was the donner lake formed?
Donner Lake was formed during the Pleistocene period when earthquakes, volcanoes and glaciers carved and shaped the landscape.
