The many glacial lakes and rivers that left behind current rivers and lakes. Many landforms that were responsible because of the glacier activity and how Minnesota is affected by it today.
In Minnesota whole process of Glaciation there have been a total of 6 glacial lobes. The most recent lobe in Minnesota history was the Wisconsin lobe which started 75,000 years ago this glacial was completely frozen 11,000 years ago. The maximum distance the Wisconsin lobe spreads to was Iowa, and this distance was completed 14,000 years ago. These glacial lobes all Came from the north and mostly covered Minnesota entirely. One part of Minnesota that was affected by this Glaciation movement was southeast Minnesota.

Rivers. How do these glacial lakes firm exactly well after the glacier malted the water left behind many huge lakes many that were even bigger than the superior lakes. In total there were 7 glacial lakes how do we know that these lakes were here well the land where these lakes occupied has many areas with layers sediment and many shoreline features you would see if a lake occupied that area. Out of all these glacial lakes the largest was Lake Agassiz and was found in the north west corner of Minnesota. If these lakes aren't present in today's age how did they disappear. Well glacial lakes weren't the only water landforms developed through the Glaciation process there were also glacial lakes. Most of these glacial lakes were drained by the glacial rivers. Lake Agassiz was drained by river warren. After Lake Agassiz was drained by lake warren it left a huge valley where this river used to be. That's how Minnesota river was formed from river warren huge
