Did the meteor that landed in the Arizona desert cause the ice age?
No, the meteorite that caused the Barringer Crater in Arizona landed about 50,000 years ago had nothing to do with the ice age. The present ice age started about 2.6 million years ago and the crater was formed mid-way during the last glaciation.
What is one hypothesis for the ice age?
One hypothesis for the ice age is that changes in Earth's orbit and tilt caused variations in the amount of sunlight reaching different parts of the planet, leading to temperature changes and the growth of ice sheets.
How was the ice age formed?
The Ice Age was a long period of cold climate conditions where a large part of Earth's surface was covered in ice sheets and glaciers. It was primarily caused by changes in the Earth's orbit and tilt, leading to reduced summer temperatures and increased ice accumulation. Other factors such as volcanic activity and changes in atmospheric greenhouse gases also contributed to the onset and duration of the Ice Age.
Was there a meteorite that hit earth and caused the Ice Age?
There is a hypothesis that a meteorite impact could have contributed to the onset of the Ice Age by cooling the climate, but this theory is still debated among scientists. Other factors such as changes in Earth's orbit and volcanic activity are also thought to have played a role in the onset of the Ice Age.
What caused the disappearance of the ice age?
The ice age hasn't disappeared, it is still with us. It started about 2.6 million years ago and we live in a warm period within the ice age called an interglacial period. The last glacial period ended about 10,000 to 12,000 years ago and we will return to another one eventually.
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.
Is ice skating to childish for 14 year olds?
there is no age to stop skating. just enjoy what you do :)Edit: Yes,there is no age group to stop skating. There are many ice skaters that are older, way older, then 14 years of age.
Why did so many people migrate during the ice age?
The ice age caused the area between Russia and Alaska to freeze into ice that people could walk on but the Asian hunters also followed the bison to the Americas for food
How did the Ice Age affect lives?
The ice age affected living things because it caused living things to extinct.Also it made it hard for living things to survive.
How much money is ice age dawn of the dinosaurs at game stop?
$17.99
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.
Did a comet hit earth in the ice age?
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.
What caused the woolly mammoth to be extinct?
Either too much hunting caused the population to end, or the Ice Age was too cold for them.
Did the meteor that landed in the Arizona desert cause the ice age?
No, the meteorite that caused the Barringer Crater in Arizona landed about 50,000 years ago had nothing to do with the ice age. The present ice age started about 2.6 million years ago and the crater was formed mid-way during the last glaciation.
What caused the Norse settlements in Greenland to die out during the last ice age?
They died out during a period of time known as the little ice age. Though not really an ice age, temperatures in northern Europe dropped enough to force the Norse to abandon Greenland.
Was the Canadian Shield caused by glaciers during the ice age?
The shape of the Canadian Shield was cause by glaciers and ice sheets during the many glaciations which have occurred during the last 2.6 million years of the present ice age.
What is one hypothesis for the ice age?
One hypothesis for the ice age is that changes in Earth's orbit and tilt caused variations in the amount of sunlight reaching different parts of the planet, leading to temperature changes and the growth of ice sheets.
