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
During the most recent ice age glaciers covered about what percent of the earth's land area?
30%
What land masses where covered with ice before the ice age?
None. The definition of an ice age is a time when there is ice at the poles.
During the ice age the bottom of Bering Strait became?
... a land bridge between Asia and North America.
True or false during an ice age land can move and specific areas can be permanently changed?
False. During an ice age, the movement of landmasses (plate tectonics) continues, but the specific changes caused by glaciation are not permanent. As ice sheets advance and retreat, they can reshape the landscape by eroding and depositing material, but once the ice melts, the land gradually assumes its previous form.
Did Japan and Korea have a land bridge during the ice age?
Yes Japan and Korea did have a land bridge in the Ice Age.
How are the land and the oceans affected during an ice age?
They are affected because the ice falls onto and into the water and land
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.
How are land area and the oceans affected during an ice age?
They are affected because the ice falls onto and into the water and land
How are land area and oceans affected during an ice age?

What is a large piece of ice that covers land?
A large piece of ice that covers land is called an Ice Sheet.
What was the name of the narrow strip of land exposed during the ice age?
The Bering Land Bridge
What was the largest land animal during that ice age?
the largest land animal during the ice age was the mammoth YO MAMMA
What two continents were connected by a land bridge during the last ice age?
North America and Asia were connected by a land bridge called Beringia during the last ice age. This land bridge formed when sea levels dropped due to glaciers forming during the Pleistocene epoch.
What percent of earth's land area does glacier cover during the most recent ice age?
During the most recent ice age, glaciers covered approximately 30% of Earth's land area. This extensive ice coverage significantly shaped the planet's landscape and climate during that time.
Is the Antarctic icecap closer to Wilkes or Queen Maud land?
The ice sheet that you mention covers 98% of the Antarctic continent, and it covers both areas you name.
Why does Antarctica double in size each winter?
The continent itself is land, and land does not generally change in size -- except for volcanic lands. The sea ice that freezes around the continent freezes with and connects to the ice sheet that covers 98% of Antarctica during winter, and effectively the size of this ice mass, then, doubles the size of the ice sheet that covers the continent.
