What happened to the glaciers at the end of the last Ice Age?
At the end of the last glaciation most glaciers melted as the climate changed, except for those in the far north and in mountainous areas.
Why do scientists think humans migrated from Asia to the Americans during the last ice age?
No signs of humans have been found in the Americas from before the last glaciation. The first known objects found are stone tools dated at 15,000 years old, during the last part of the glaciation. From various archaeological sites from Siberia to Alaska and down the west coast, evidence has been found linking native American DNA with that of Asian origins.
How can you use the term glaciation in a sentence about the great lakes?
The Great lakes went through glaciation many thousands of years ago.
What happened when the ice age endded?
It didn't, we are still in an ice age. The last glaciation ended about 10,000 years ago, depending in which part of the world you live, but we are now living in a warm period between glaciations. What happened when the last glaciation ended? A lot of the ice melted raising sea levels and flooding the edges of the continents, which is why we have shallow seas in various parts of the world. They used to be dry land.
When did last ice age happen?
The last glacial period is sometimes colloquially referred to as the "last ice age", though this use is incorrect.Glacials, on the other hand, refer to colder phases within an ice age that separate interglacials. So the end of the last glacial period is not the end of the last ice age. The end of the last glacial period was about 10,500 BCE, while the end of the last ice age has not yet come.At the height of glaciation the Bering land bridge potentially permitted migration of mammals, including people, to North America from Siberia.
Which Louisiana region was most affected by the glaciation of the last ice age?
mississippi floodplain region
What happen to the continental crust after the ice from the ice age melted?
During the last glaciation the weight of the ice depressed the crust to such an extent that, once the weight was removed, the crust slowly re-bounded and, in some areas is still doing so.
How does glaciation work?
Glaciation occurs when snow accumulates over time and compresses into ice. This ice then flows downhill under its weight, forming glaciers. Glaciers erode the land, carving out valleys and shaping the landscape through processes like plucking and abrasion.
Periods of widespread glaciation over the last 2 million to 3 million years are known as what?
The Ice Age.
What happened to the glaciers at the end of the last Ice Age?
At the end of the last glaciation most glaciers melted as the climate changed, except for those in the far north and in mountainous areas.
What term name is a process by which moving masses of ice change the topography of a region?
Glaciation
Where did the Ottoman Empire migrate during the Ice Age?
The Ottoman Empire did not exist during the last glaciation which ended about 10,000 years ago.
What impact did the last Ice Age have on the Agricultural Revolution?
The last period of glaciation had an indirect impact on agriculture as humans were hunter/gatherers during that time, agriculture only starting after the end of the glaciation. In high latitudes debris from the glaciers would have affected the types of soil available for farming and river courses also may have been altered by the ice.

Is landforms created by slow-moving glaciersduring the last Ice Age?
Not all landforms were formed by glaciers during the last glaciation but most of those in high latitudes were, including mountainous regions in lower latitudes.
When did the last ice-age end?
Well for one thing, it didn't. The definition of Ice Age is a period of extensive glaciation with brief interglacials between the points of highest glaciation. By that definition we're are still in the middle of an ice age, a warm bit of one, but still in one. If we weren't in an Ice Age there would be no glacials, whatsoever.
