It didn't, we are still in an ice age. The last glaciation ended about 10,000 years ago, depending in which part of the world you live, but we are now living in a warm period between glaciations.

What happened when the last glaciation ended? A lot of the ice melted raising sea levels and flooding the edges of the continents, which is why we have shallow seas in various parts of the world. They used to be dry land.

What do geologists think happened after the last ice age?

After the last ice age, known as the Pleistocene Epoch, geologists believe that the Earth warmed, causing the ice to melt and the glaciers to retreat. This led to rising sea levels and the formation of many of the landscapes and features we see today. Additionally, it triggered the end of the ice age and the beginning of the current epoch, the Holocene.


What do geologists believe happened during the last ice age?

Geologists believe that during the last ice age, large continental ice sheets expanded and covered much of North America, Europe, and Asia. This period was marked by cycles of advance and retreat of these ice sheets, shaping the landscape through processes like erosion and deposition. The last ice age ended around 11,700 years ago as the Earth's climate began to warm, causing the ice sheets to melt and sea levels to rise.


How much of the Earth was covered in ice during the Ice Age?

What is a sentence with the word ice age?

How many years are there between the ice age and Noah's flood?

The ice age occurred over different periods starting around 2.4 million years ago. The Great Flood, believed by some to be the event in the biblical story of Noah, is thought to have happened around 5,000-7,000 years ago. Therefore, there is a difference of several thousand years between the ice age and Noah's flood.
