What is the difference about glaciation and an interglacial period?
Glaciations are the times during which glaciers grew and covered large parts of continents. An interglacial period is a geological time between glaciations.
WasToronto covered with ice during past glaciations?
I think the real question is why you would care about Canada?
Could a rock that looks like a tillite have been formed by any agent other than glaciations?
No, it could not
The term Ice Age is not an entirely accurate description for that time period. Why do you think this is so Use the word glaciations in your answer?

What is a Saale?
A Saale is one of the glaciations of Northern Europe, a geological event during the most recent major Ice Age.
Did the most recent ice age end ten thousand years ago?
Not really. The most recent glaciation ended in the Eurasian and the North American continents about 10,000 - 12,000 years ago, but that was just one of many glaciations during the present ice age which started about 2,6 million years ago. We are now living in a relatively warm interglacial period.
How was Matterhorn formed?
The Matterhorn was formed by a glacier. More specifically, Alpine glaciations were responsible for creating the Matterhorn because the glaciations took place in a mountainous region. The Matterhorn is part of a mountain valley called the Swiss Alps. Avalanches and frost also help to break away some of the rock which made the slope of the Matterhorn steeper...

How does evidence of glaciation support the theory?
Evidence of past glaciations have nothing to do with evolution except to show that the Earth is much older than 10,000 years old.
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.
