Such large, flowing sheets of ice are called glaciers. At least three times during the last 2 million years western Ohio has been invaded by continent-sized glaciers moving southward out of Canada. These large bodies of advancing ice blocked and diverted streams and deposited a veneer of finely ground rock particles and other debris across two-thirds of the Ohio land area.
