What is the glacial period of history?
A glacial period is like the time of ice ages, when the most of the earth is covered in ice and snow.
How do the ages of the rocks on the seafloor support the theory of seafloor spreading?
The ages of the rocks become older the farther the way they are from the ridges. The closer they are the younger it is. This leaves evidence to the seafloor spreading theory.
What does the term Ice Age mean when it is capitalized?
Some also say: ice age = all of the ice ages (a general name). Ice Age = Pleistocene Glacial Epoch.
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.
How are growth rings and ice cores useful in determining the ages of geologic events?
Geologists have learned to use growth rings in shells, as well as rhythmic layering in sediments and in glacial ice, to date events numerically back through recent Earth history.
How do you use the word glacial in a sentence?
(Glacial can refer to actual glaciers, or metaphorically to things that are either cold or slow-moving.)During the ice ages, glacial expansion covered much of the land closest to the poles.He tried a cheery greeting to the receptionist, but was met by a glacial stare.The controversial bill moved at a glacial pace through a myriad of subcommittees.

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.
What ages do you have to be to do your theory?
about 10 and up
How many glacial periods have there been during the last two million years?
There have been multiple glacial periods, known as ice ages, during the last two million years. These ice ages are characterized by intervals of cold climate when ice sheets covered much of the Earth's surface. The exact number of glacial periods can vary depending on the scientific definition used.

Dolph Earl Hooker has written: 'Those astounding ice ages' -- subject(s): Glacial epoch

How do the ages of rock on the ocean floor support the theory of seafloor spreading?
The ages of the rocks become older the farther the way they are from the ridges. The closer they are the younger it is. This leaves evidence to the seafloor spreading theory.
