While asteroids can cause short-term environmental disruptions, such as climate cooling, it is unlikely that a single asteroid directly caused a prolonged ice age. Ice ages are usually the result of long-term changes in Earth's orbit and axial tilt, as well as atmospheric and oceanic circulation patterns.
What else can I help you with?
What asteroid caused the ice age?
The ice age was not caused by an asteroid impact. It was most likely due to a combination of factors such as changes in Earth's orbit and axial tilt, volcanic activity, and the release of greenhouse gases.
What is the name of an object made from ice rock and frozen gases that orbits the sun?
asteroid
A medium sized rocky object orbiting the sun?
This description matches that of an asteroid. Asteroids are rocky objects that orbit the sun and are generally smaller than planets. They can be found in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter or in other regions of the solar system.
What lies between mars and jupiter-?
Main asteroid beltThe asteroid belt
What is the meaning of the term asteroid?
An asteroid is a small rocky body that orbits the Sun, primarily found in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. These celestial objects are remnants from the early solar system and vary in size, shape, and composition. Unlike comets, asteroids are composed mainly of minerals and metals rather than ice. They can provide valuable insights into the formation and evolution of our solar system.
What asteroid caused the ice age?
The ice age was not caused by an asteroid impact. It was most likely due to a combination of factors such as changes in Earth's orbit and axial tilt, volcanic activity, and the release of greenhouse gases.
Do you think dinosaurs died in the impact of an asteroid or Comet?
I think they died due to the ice age.
Did a asteroud cause the ice age?
The Earth is limited to time in rotation around sun and during that rotation ICE is formed Icebergs and massive Storms add up in speeds around the annual orbit of the sun and it passes far side and closer to the sun as it moves and an Asteroid has some Ice on it and could change slightly the Earths atmosphere yet it would not be the main source of an ICE age depending on the size of that asteroid or asteroud if it were enormous and parts of that asteroid landed here on Earth massive climates of Cold and ICE would demand ice growth and it answers itself Yes so this answer is Yes and No depending on the placement of ice particles of enormity that would actually land on the Earth from any ASTEROUD.Thanks John Richard Foy .
Did volcanoes cause the last ice age?
No. The last ice age was triggered by fluctuations in Earth's orbit.
What materials are in an asteroid?
Ice and rock.
Is an asteroid made of Rock and ice?
yes
The hypothesis that cause of the ice age?
perry the platypus <3
What is the currently accepted theory of the cause of the ice age?
a massive snow storm and brain age
Are there any ice on the asteroid?
yes there is infact most asteroides contain of mostly ice
Will global warming cause to go in another ice age?
probably
Did disease cause the demise of the woolly mammoth?
NO, the Ice Age killed it.
How is a comet different from a asteroid?
An asteroid is hunks of rock or metal a comet is ice and as it gets closer to the sun it turns to water vapor as it gets further it turns back to ice.
