During the last Interglacial period, the Earth's average temperature was about 1 to 2 degrees Celsius warmer than pre-industrial levels. This corresponds to a global average temperature about 1-2 degrees warmer than today.

How long the length of time since the last ice age?

The most recent ice age, known as the Last Glacial Maximum, occurred approximately 20,000 years ago. Since then, the Earth has been in an interglacial period characterized by a warmer climate.


Did volcanoes cause the last ice age?

No. The last ice age was triggered by fluctuations in Earth's orbit.


When was the Ice Age before the last one?

The Ice Age before the most recent one occurred approximately 300 million years ago during the Carboniferous and Permian periods. It was characterized by vast glaciation events that covered a significant portion of the Earth's surface.

What changes on earth occurred between 515000000 and 250000000 years ago?

Nothing special that we can be sure of. That was about the time that the Earth was coming out of the "Younger Dryas" mini-ice age, which had started about 2500 years before - probably with a comet or asteroid impact in Northern Canada.


What is the time span of the ice age?

Depends on the Ice Age in question as there has been a few in Earth's history. The most well-documented ice age, and probably the most severe of the last billion years, occurred from 850 to 630 million years ago (the Cryogenian period) and may have produced a Snowball Earth in which glacial ice sheets reached the equator.


Why did bronze age come before iron age?

because bronze was on earth first


What caused the last ice age over 11000 years ago?

The last ice age, known as the Last Glacial Maximum, occurred due to a combination of factors such as changes in the Earth's orbit and tilt, which affected solar radiation distribution, as well as the release of volcanic aerosols and greenhouse gases. These factors led to the cooling of the climate and the expansion of ice sheets across much of the Northern Hemisphere.


What was the temperature of the the last ice age on Earth?

During the last ice age, which occurred around 20,000 years ago, global temperatures were about 4-7 degrees Celsius (7-13 degrees Fahrenheit) lower than they are today. Ice sheets covered much of North America and Europe, resulting in a much colder climate.


Is the Earth in an ice age right now?

No, the Earth is not in an ice age right now. The last ice age ended about 10,000 years ago.
