Is the climate currently considered to be in an ice age?
Technically, yes. Ice ages are not continuous periods of cold, but rather have cycles of colder glacial periods and warmer interglacial periods. We are currently in an interglacial period.
What The time period between ice ages is called?
interglacial
How ice age happen?
The cause of ice ages remains controversial for both the large-scale ice age periods and the smaller ebb and flow of glacial/interglacial periods within an ice age. The general consensus is that it is a combination of several important factors: atmospheric composition (the relative amounts of water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, sulfur dioxide, and various other gases and particulates in the atmosphere), changes in the Earth's orbit around the Sun known as Milankovitch cycles (and possibly the Sun's orbit around the galaxy), the motion of tectonic plates resulting in changes in the relative location and amount of continental and oceanic crust on the Earth's surface, variations in solar output, the orbital dynamics of the Earth-Moon system, the impact of relatively large meteorites, and eruptions of super volcanoes.
Why do scinetists believe the ice age encouraged people to migrate and spread?
It was not the Ice Age that encouraged people to migrate but the warm periods between Glacial Maximums.Ice Ages are mainly long periods of intense cold interspersed with short periods of warmth. When the warm periods started the ice retreated, animals gradually moved into the new areas looking for food and people followed them as the animals were their main source of food. This was, of course, before people were able to farm.
What can she infer about the ages of the two rock layers?
That the one below the other is generally older.

What The time period between ice ages is called?
interglacial
What is the time between ice ages called?
A warm period. But have a crack at "interglacial" in wikipedia.
If your 10 is it common to have a period?
Periods usually happens somewhere between the ages of 9 -16 years. You have just developed faster then a lot of other girls if your having your period don't be alarmed people have periods at a lot of different ages.
WHAT IS PERIODS USING WORLD HISTORY?
Periods mean eras centuries ages
How do Middle Ages relate to the Japanese Americans?
Japanese Americans were not existent in the middle ages. Even America was nonexistent in the middle ages.
Why is the medieval period also called the Middle Ages?

No

The "dark" ages and the "middle" ages.
Name all the periods and ages of the world?
there are many different periods of the world go on google and check it out
How are cyclical patterns of ice ages and interglacial period related to global climate change?
Scientists can learn much about global climate changes by studying the cyclical patterns of ice ages and interglacial periods. As everything the Earth's epochs are cyclical and tend to repeat through the ages, changing very slowly over thousands of years. By studying these scientists can determine ice volume changes and temperature patterns. By doing this they can know whether to expect warming or perhaps another ice age. However, these slow, long-term changes in earth's climate are not related to the present global warming, which is the rapid (200 year) rise in temperature since man began burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).
Do all girls start there periods?
Yes all girls start there periods between the ages of 9-16
