Best Answer

A glacial fiord. Norway has lots of them, but there is also one on the US East Coast. Somes Sound on Mt Desert Island in Maine is a glacial fiord. It is also a very pretty area with lots of very wealthy people having summer properties there. Mt. Desert Island is just barely an island since the inland waterway separating it from the mainland is just a creek.

What forces shaped the land of the western hemisphere?

The glaciers and the erosion. It is glaciers and erosion because as glaciers move, they smoothed the rough surfaces, carved deep valleys, and piled up rocks and dirt. In some places, glaciers left behind rich oil. Erosion is the process by which water and wind wear away land. Flowing water can even carve a path through stones over a long period. Overtime, the soil carried by rivers can fill valleys and create plains. Wind causes erosion as it blows bits of stone and earth from the surface of landforms. The combined of wind and water have carved natural bridges, steep cliffs, and deep valleys.

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.
