The end of the ice age cooled the Earth by reducing the albedo effect, which is the reflection of sunlight off ice and snow. As the ice and snow melted, dark land and water surfaces absorbed more sunlight, leading to greater warming. Additionally, changes in ocean circulation patterns and greenhouse gas concentrations contributed to the cooling of the Earth after the ice age.
During the Ice Age, approximately 30 of the Earth's surface was covered in ice.
Methane gas likely played a role in warming the Earth after the last ice age by contributing to the greenhouse effect. However, it was not the sole factor responsible for the end of the ice age. Other factors such as changes in Earth's orbit, solar radiation, and feedback mechanisms likely also played significant roles.
No, the Earth is not in an ice age right now. The last ice age ended about 10,000 years ago.
The previous answer was incorrect. NOW the Earth's surface is covered with ice, but during the most recent ice age, NEARLY 30% of the Earth was covered by ice!I'm a little bold
Ice ages end due to a combination of factors, including changes in Earth's orbit, variations in solar radiation, and changes in greenhouse gas concentrations. These factors contribute to gradual warming of the climate, leading to the melting of ice sheets and the transition out of the ice age period.

No. If there wasn't an Earth, there wouldn't be anywhere for there to be an ice age.
At the end of the Pennsylvanian Epoch, the Earth’s climate began to cool significantly, leading to the onset of the Permian Ice Age. This important development marked the transition from the Carboniferous Period to the Permian Period.
The Ice Age was an extremely cold period time on Earth.
In the last couple of million years, the Earth has experienced dozens of ice ages. The last one ended about 15,000 years ago. We don't know if they are related at all to the Earth's "precession", which is a 26,000-year-long "wobble" in the Earth's spin. There is no reason for precession to have any effect on Earth's climate, since the 'tilt' of the axis remains constant throughout the cycle of precession.
the most reason able answer is because of global warming, and global warming is when The Earth's tempature rises
There is no concrete evidence to suggest that a comet hit Earth during the ice age. The ice age was primarily caused by variations in Earth's orbit, tilt, and wobble, as well as changes in solar radiation.
no
no, man is actually encouraging an ice age by polluting the earth
No. The last ice age was triggered by fluctuations in Earth's orbit.
