No, the Earth is not in an ice age right now. The last ice age ended about 10,000 years ago.

During the most recant ice age glacier covered about percent of the earth's land area?
The previous answer was incorrect. NOW the Earth's surface is covered with ice, but during the most recent ice age, NEARLY 30% of the Earth was covered by ice!I'm a little bold
When did the ice age begin and end?
The present ice age started about 2.58 million years ago and it is still with us. There are warm periods within ice ages we call interglacials and we are living in one right now.
Why was more land exposed during the ice age than it is now?
A large proportion of Earth's surface water was in the form of ice and so sea levels dropped significantly.
During the ice age the ocean levels were than now?
Lower

The ice started to melt in the north because of goble warming?
no, the earth is going the its cycle. The earth was one in an ice age and got really hot to melt all the ice. So it just happening now to us.
Was there more water on Earth one billion years ago or now?
My opinion is that there was more Earth one billion years ago because of the ice age. I don't know if I'm right because I'm only a 6th grader.

Is the ice age going to begin in 2010?
No because it is 2011 now and there was no ice age then
When will 'Ice Age 3' be out?
Supposedly, in 2009

How many ice sheets are there on Earth right now?
The answer is constantly changing so that question is inanswerable.
Is the current Ice Age period the only time in Earth's history that massive glacial activity has shaped the land?
No: glacial activity occurs in all glacial phases of all Ice Ages, and we now see the results of the latest within the present Ice Age.
When did the world emerge from the ice age?
The world has not yet emerged from the present ice age. We came out of the last glaciation about 10,000 years ago, (depending on what part of Earth you refer to), and are now in an interglacial, (warm), period between glaciations.
Why does the earth have ice caps?
In the latest ice age almost the whole world was covered with ice (almost as far as the equator), most of that ice has now retreated as the earth's temperature increased but what is left is still at the coldest parts of the world i.e. the poles. The ice was created from water freezing at the low temperatures and then covered with snow.
