Wisconsin had glaciers thousands of years ago but there are none currently in the state.
Glaciers have shaped the landscape of Wisconsin in a number of ways. For example, the irregular landscape and boundaries of the state are a direct result of glacial melting.

glaciers are very big
its not mountain glaciers but its valley glaciers
Pros:· Glaciers provide drinking water· Glacier water provides plants water· Glaciers help generate hydroelectric powerCons:· Glaciers cause flooding· Glaciers cause avalanches

The Great Lakes and the Finger Lakes were carved by ice glaciation in the valleys. Lakes in Minnesota and Wisconsin were gouged out by glaciers and later filled with water from melting glaciers. Niagara falls was formed when the glaciers created dams on the rivers and changed the flow.
Glaciers changed the face of North America with the following effects:An ice sheet covered most of Canada.The southwest received heavy rains.
W Wisconsin is a wonderful state.I I-94 comes here from ChicagoS Scott Walker is the governor.C Capital city is Madison.O On Wisconsin is the state song.N Not nice to teachers, the governor lowered their salaries.S Superior is a city in the far north.I Ice Age glaciers did not get the Driftless area.N Nelson Dewey was the first governor of Wisconsin.
Glaciers once covered most of Wisconsin and parts northward. The warming over this period certainly made Canada more livable.
That's because a longgg time ago during the ice age giant glaciers(Huge ice rocks) pushed through the land and then later melted.
The warming of the past has certainly caused many changes in our area. In Wisconsin here we now have farmland where glaciers were thousands of years ago. This has turned our area into one that many people can enjoy and live in. Glaciers make the growing of crops very difficult.

There are 2 main types of glaciers, Continental is one, they float away from central regions. The second is alpine or valley which are the glaciers that flow down the valley from the mountain.
Glaciers formed in mountains are called mountain glaciers or alpine glaciers. They are found in high-altitude regions and flow downhill through valleys.
