All throughout history and even unto this very day, glaciers make people VERY cold!

Glaciers, when they are not melting due to global warming, hold a vast amount of water. Without glaciers, most, if not all, of our oceanside villages and cities would be submerged by many feet.

It has been argued that the presence of the glaciers at the poles tends to keep the globe from drifting off its axis. In other words, north remains north and south remains south, within a few degrees.

There are many other ways in which glaciers are either beneficial or problematic to human and other species on the planet. I encourage you to do some further research on your own.

How did glaciers affect the interior plains?

Glaciers shaped the interior plains by depositing thick layers of sediment that formed the flat landscape we see today. As glaciers advanced and retreated, they also carved out river valleys and lakes, leaving behind fertile soils that support agriculture in the region. Additionally, the meltwater from glaciers helped to create the extensive network of rivers and wetlands that define the interior plains.
