A
By earthquakes
B
By glaciers
C
By volcanoes
D
By erosion
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The Western Uplands is defined by hard, ancient rock that was shaped by glaciation. Glaciation is the process of land being transformed by glaciers or ice sheets. As glaciers receded from the area, they left a number of distinct physical features, including abundant marshlands, lakes, and fjords.

Detailed explanation-2: -The rocks in the foreground were dropped by a retreating glacier, and the mountains in the background have been carved by glacial action. Glaciers can sculpt and carve landscapes by eroding the land beneath them and by depositing rocks and sediment.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Western Upland is a geographical region covering much of the western half of the U.S. state of Wisconsin. It stretches from southern Polk County, Wisconsin in the north to the state border with Illinois in the south, and from Rock County in the east to the Mississippi River in the west.
