What else can I help you with?
What year did the ice age end?
The present ice age has not ended, it started about 2.58 million years ago and we are living in an interglacial, (warm), period.
When did the last glacial period end?
It is recorded that the last glacial period ended in 10,500 BC. That was supposedly the end of what is commonly known as the "Ice Age."
What is the most recent ice age ended about?
The most recent ice age ended about 11,700 years ago, leading to the current interglacial period known as the Holocene epoch.
Are we currently in an ice age or an interglacial period?
We are currently in an interglacial period, known as the Holocene epoch, which began around 11,700 years ago. We are not in an ice age, which is characterized by extensive glaciation and lower global temperatures.
How much have temperatures varied during your current interglacial period?
During the current interglacial period (Holocene), temperatures have varied by approximately 1-2 degrees Celsius globally. These variations have occurred due to natural factors like solar cycles and volcanic activities, as well as human-induced climate change. Temperature fluctuations during this interglacial period have influenced environmental conditions and shaped ecosystems over the past 10,000 years.
Was there an ice age 120 thousand years ago?
The Earth was in an interglacial period of warming called the Sangamon Interglacial at this time period. The Illinois glaciation preceded it, and the Wisconsin episode of glaciation followed it. We are currently in an interglacial period known as the Holocene.

What does interglacial mean?
Adjective:Of or relating to a period of milder climate between two glacial periods. Noun:An interglacial period.
Which beat describes the current geologic age?
We are currently in the Quaternary period, which began about 2.6 million years ago. This period is known for its repeated glacial and interglacial cycles, the most recent of which started around 11,000 years ago.
Which period of an ice age are you in currently?
We are currently in an interglacial period within the ice age which started about 2.6 million years ago.
Can be considered an interglacial in the current ice age?
sure
What is the time period between ice age?
interglacial
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.
