During the Ice Age did the sea level rise or fall?
During the last Ice Age, sea levels fell because water was locked up in glaciers and ice sheets on land. This caused the coastline to retreat and exposed more of the continental shelf.
During the last ice age how much of the earths surface was covered by glaciers?
30%
How does absorption of solar energy by the earths surface changes in the ice age?
During an ice age, the increased presence of ice and snow on the Earth's surface can lead to more solar energy being reflected back into space, rather than being absorbed by the surface. This can contribute to cooling temperatures and potentially prolonging the ice age.
Ocean levels were much lower during the Ice Age than they are now because .?
More of the earths water was frozen
Why does sea level rise and fall during interglacial and glacial periods?
During glacial periods, sea levels drop because water is stored in continental ice sheets. During interglacial periods, ice melts and sea levels rise as water is released back into the oceans. These fluctuations in sea level are part of the Earth's natural climate cycles.
During the recent ice age glaciers covered almost what percent of earths land?
During the recent ice age, glaciers covered almost 30 percent of earths land.
Compare the Earths climate today with its climate during the ice age?
it's warmer and drier now, than during the Ice Ages
What does period during which low temperatures caused large areas of earths warter to freeze mean?
That would be an ice age.
Why is Michigan shape like a mitten?
During the Great Ice Age glaciers shaped the earths surface created a mitten shape.
During the Ice Age did the sea level rise or fall?
During the last Ice Age, sea levels fell because water was locked up in glaciers and ice sheets on land. This caused the coastline to retreat and exposed more of the continental shelf.
During an ice age?
sea level is lower because so much of the ocean is frozen
During the last ice age how much of the earths surface was covered by glaciers?
30%
