Ice is frozen water. It is evident that if a lot of the land is covered with ice then that ice had to come from somewhere.
The only places it could come from are the oceans.
Water evaporates from the oceans, it falls on high ground as snow and over time this compacts into ice.
If water is being evaporated from the oceans and none is being returned then the water level drops.

What were the carbon dioxide levels during the ice age?
During the last ice age, carbon dioxide levels were around 180-200 parts per million (ppm) compared to pre-industrial levels of approximately 280 ppm. This reduction in CO2 levels contributed to the lower temperatures and the expansion of ice sheets during the ice age.
Why were sea levels low during the ice age?
During the ice age, a significant amount of water was locked up in glacial ice, causing sea levels to drop. This resulted in more water being stored on land in the form of ice sheets, which led to lower sea levels globally.
What does period during which low temperatures caused large areas of earths warter to freeze mean?
That would be an ice age.
Does Lithuania have any mountains?
No. It doesn't have any mountains higher than 300m (the same as a large hill). The reason for this is that during the ice age all the hills and mountains were wiped out during the last ice age and replaced by low lying swamps and drumlins.
What was not a thick snow or ice center in North America during the Ice Age?
The North American ice sheet during the Ice Age did not cover the central Great Plains region, which remained largely ice-free due to its relatively low precipitation levels. This area is known as the "ice-free corridor" and served as a passageway for plants, animals, and potentially human migration.
What is the high and low elevation for Colombia South America?
Its highest point is 5,775m and the lowest is 0m or sealevel
What was the theory of how people came to the Americas?
The clasic theory is that people from northern Asia crosses the Bering Straights - possibly during an ice age (with low sea levels).
Where did the Netherlands country name originate from and when?
the Netherlands are called in Dutch Nederland. This comes from the fact that almost our whole country is below sealevel. You can translate ´low´ to our word neder. the Nederlands, the ´low lands´
Why was the British isles joined together with the rest of Europe during the ice age?
low sea levels
What does temperature mean in ice age?
The glacial age was on the earth a period with very low temperatures and many glaciers. The sense of the word temperature is unique in science.
What happens to oceans levels during an ice age?
Sea level can drop on the order of 100 meters. During the last glacial maximum, when the last ice age was in full swing and continental ice masses variously reached their greatest extents, considered to be the millennia centered about 21,000 calendar years ago, sea level reached 120 meters (~400 feet) lower than recent eustatic mean sea level, opening up nearly the same amount of formerly submerged land in habitable areas as was lost to ice cover and permafrost during the last ice age.

Has Florida been covered by glaciers?
No, Florida has never been covered by glaciers. During the last Ice Age, glaciers did not reach as far south as Florida due to the state's low elevation and proximity to the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico.
