big chunks of dirt or ice with tails
Yes of course, the sun has been present for about 6 billion years, the earth has been present for about 4.5 billion years, recorded ice ages occurred between about 300,000 years ago until about 10,000 years ago.
About 3/4 of a billion years ago ... the ice-ball (or snow ball) Earth, when the entire planet was covered in snow & ice, the seas frozen.
from the size of a refrigerator to a grain of sand
Greenland ice loss is over 300 billion tons per year. That is not a lot, compared to Greenland's total ice mass, but the loss rate is accelerating. In 2002 Greenland ice loss was only 137 billion tons per year. Antarctica is also losing ice. You may hear people insist the sea ice extent has been increasing, which is perfectly true, but the volume of ice continues to decrease. Imagine a person pouring a glass of water on concrete, the claiming there is more water because the water surface area is greater than it was in the glass. All the glaciers in the Alps (Europe), Rocky Mountains & Cascades (western US), and Andes (south America) are retreating. Glaciers on isolated mountain slopes like Kilimanjaro, in Africa, are also in retreat. Glacial ice in Kamchatka is in retreat, with the exception of a few glaciers on volcanic slopes. 93% of the glaciers in the Himalayas (southwestern Asia and northern India) are in retreat. The Zemestan Glacier has lost 10% of its length in the past 40 years. A few of the inner Himalayan glaciers have not been shedding ice so rapidly. The Gangotri Glacier in India, for example, has lost only half a mile of ice in the past 30 years. Essentially, just about everywhere in the world the ice is melting, and that ice melt is attributable to global warming. The one notable exception is in the Karakoram Range of the Himalayas, in which nearly half of the 40 glaciers there have not undergone significant retreat. Part of the reason may be that many of these are insulated by rocky overburden, slowing their rate of decline. The extreme elevation of these glaciers is another key factor.
the can be up to 200 tons
Tons and tons of it!!
Depends on the size.
1mm -1mm not sure what that previous part means but it is utterly wrong of cours. nobody knows how big it was and estinates vary from from 800 foot top to bottom and 4-500 feet across
Around 4 million tons of ice
Nope. It is like flying on rainbows and eating tons and tons of ice cream. And you get super powers from it
5 billion
Ice cream had sales of $3.2 billion in 1991
It all depends on the type of ice cream you get, and the manufacturing company.
Americans spent $20.7 billion on ice cream and other frozen desserts in 2001
There were1,200 pounds of icecream on the Titanic!!!!!!!
