Why is the ice age called the ice age?
It was called the ice age because Europe and Asia were connected by the ice. Get it ice age.
What ended the Little Ice Age?
sun ended the ice age
When did the ice age end?
The Great Ice Age occurred during the Pleistocene Epoch, which began about two million years ago and lasted until 11,000 years ago. .. we are still in an ice age because, all the ice bergs and ice sheets have not melted. we are coming out of an ice age slowly but surely. but its faster than we thought because of all the greenhouse effect that is going on in the world today. (global warming is making the ice melt quicker).
Was there a mass extinction during the last ice age?
Many geologists consider what you call the "last ice age" to be the last glacial of the present Ice Age, with the ice retreat starting only about 10-12ka. There was no mass extinction. A good many species did migrate or disappear altogther as the ice retreated, but in no way was it a mass extinction.
How do scientistis think earths orbit relates to an ice age?
Changes in the earth's rotation can lead to an ice age. Scientists believe the earth's orbit and tilt caused the last ice age and may cause another one in the near future.
What period in history did the movie ice age occur?
the ice age
Where did ice age occur?
All around the world...
What age did the ice age occur?
Paleocene 65-56 million years ago
When did the ice age probably occur?
The next ice would probably occur for a few 100 years we will probably be dead by then so dont worry about it!
Is there any possibility for the next ice age to occur?
It could happen...
What are the warm periods that occur between ice ages called?
The warm periods that occur between ice ages are called interglacial periods. These are characterized by higher temperatures, melting of ice, and a relatively stable climate compared to the colder ice age periods.
Did ice age occur during the Mesozoic era?
No, the most well-known Ice Age was in the Cenozoic Era, during the Pleistocene epoch.
What degrees celsius must the earth temperature drop to cause aanother ice age?
A drop of about 4-5 degrees Celsius in global average temperature is estimated to trigger an ice age. This would occur over thousands of years due to complex climatic and geological processes. However, the specific threshold for another ice age to occur is still debated among scientists.
Why is the ice age called the ice age?
It was called the ice age because Europe and Asia were connected by the ice. Get it ice age.
A long period of climatic cooling during which continents are glaciated repeatedly is called?
An ice age is a long period of time in which Earth's climate is cooler than usual, resulting in the expansion of glaciers and ice sheets across continents. This cooling can occur multiple times during an ice age, leading to repeated glaciations.
Scientists believe that the Earth is presently overdue for an Ice Age?
While it is impossible to predict when the next ice age will occur with certainty, some scientists suggest that we are about due for another one based on historical patterns. However, human-induced climate change may affect the timing and severity of the next ice age.
Occur when the Earth comes out of an ice age?
Inter-glacial periods occur when the Earth transitions from a glacial period (ice age) to a warmer period. During these periods, temperatures increase, ice sheets retreat, and sea levels rise. Inter-glacials are characterized by a warmer climate, with higher levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
