Created for 4th grade Wisconsin social studies text. Terminal moraines are found at the end and along the edges of glaciers. The glacier forms the moraines by pushing and dumping piles of many kinds of dirt and rocks. These moraines look like a wall of hills or a ridge. When you see a moraine, you are seeing how far the most recent glacier came into Wisconsin.
Drumlins have shapes like overturned canoes.
Kettles are formed when a big chunk of ice separates from the main glacier. This chunk is surrounded by rocks and dirt that the glacier leaves behind. When the chunk of ice melts, it leaves a deep hole. Today, kettles are usually filled with water and look like a lake or a pond. Eskers are long, winding, narrow hills.
