What is Thick sheets of ice that can cover large areas of a continent are called ice caps or?
Thick sheets of ice that can cover large areas of a continent are called continental glaciers or ice caps. Examples of continental glaciers are in Antarctica and Greenland The ice sheets that form in these two locations are up to 3500 meters thick. thank you a lot

What is a thick sheet of moving ice?
Also called ice sheets, they can be called glaciers or continental ice masses. While glaciers, by definition, have to be moving- albeit VERY slowly- ice sheets can just lay there until they move, which could classify them as a glacier.
What events led to the diversification of mammals?
Earth's climate cooled, which caused ice ages. Thick glaciers formed. The level of the ocean fell by more than 100 meters. Then the climate began to warm. Continental glaciers melted. Mammals became common.
