How did glaciers shape the land in Pennsylvania?

Today, evidence of glacial activity can be seen in the moraines, drumlins, and other glacial features throughout the state.

Was Pennsylvania covered by a glacier?
Yes, much of Pennsylvania was covered by glaciers during the last Ice Age, particularly the Wisconsin glaciation, which occurred around 20,000 years ago. The glaciers shaped the landscape, leaving behind features such as valleys, lakes, and various soil types. The northern and western parts of the state experienced more significant glacial influence, while the southeastern areas were less affected. As the glaciers retreated, they contributed to the rich natural resources and topography of Pennsylvania.
