How did recurrent periods of continental glaciation help shape the topographic features of the Great Lakes and Corn Belt region?

What will be an ideal response?


The glacial pressure of recurrent periods of glaciation helped smooth down the land it covered, making the topography of the region less hilly than surrounding areas. The glaciers also scored out many lakes and streambeds in the region and deposited a deep layer of sediment.
