Plucking and Abrasion.
Carve away land, Basins and lakes, Islands made out of sand
Glaciers not only transport material as they move, but they also sculpt and carve away the land beneath them. A glacier's weight, combined with its gradual movement, can drastically reshape the landscape. Over hundreds or even thousands of years, the ice totally changes the landscape. The ice erodes the land surface and carries the broken rocks and soil debris far from their original places, resulting in some interesting glacial landforms
Glaciers in the colonies shaped the land by carving out valleys, creating lakes, and depositing rocks and debris as they moved. This process significantly influenced the landscape, soil composition, and natural resources of the region.

1. it was cold 2. it was very forestry (there were a lot of trees) 3. glaciers reshaped the land there

The warm climate and rich soil of the Southern Colonies were well suited for agriculture.

glaciers weather the earths surface
As the glaciers move over the land they help smash the land and also add silt and dirt to the ground.
It is the time when glaciers disapeared from the land before reforming.
Continental glaciers are thicker and larger. Valley glaciers are formed on mountains; continental glaciers are formed on flat land.
