The land bridge that connected Asia and North America during the ice ages is called Beringia. This allowed early humans and animals to migrate between the two continents.
The five major ice ages are the Huronian, Cryogenian, Andean-Saharan, Karoo, and Quaternary. These ice ages span billions of years and were characterized by extensive glaciation and significant impacts on the Earth's climate and ecosystems.
True. During ice ages, much of the Earth's water is stored in glaciers, reducing the availability of water for plant growth. This leads to a drier climate overall, promoting the expansion of deserts. Conversely, the colder temperatures and reduced precipitation can inhibit the growth of forests, making them less prevalent during ice ages.
During the ice ages, a significant amount of water from the Earth's oceans was locked up in glaciers and ice sheets on land, resulting in a lower sea level. This process, known as glaciation, occurred as climate conditions favored the accumulation of ice on the continents rather than in the oceans.
During the ice ages, Wales was covered by glaciers that shaped its landscape with deep valleys and rounded hills. The movement of ice also deposited large amounts of sediment, sculpting the land. As the climate warmed and the ice melted, it left behind lakes and rivers that further influenced the region's geography.
Ice.
Glaciers and ice sheets covering large portions of land were common features during all ice ages.
The sloths of today weren't around during the ice ages, but earlier versions of sloths have been around for ages.
it's warmer and drier now, than during the Ice Ages
evidence of glaciation in the Southern Hemisphere - during the ice ages
They lived in a similar way to today, in parts of the Earth that were not ice-covered.
Yes it did :-)

Horses were brought to America by the conquistadors. Therefore they were not in North America during the ice age.
The people lived in igoloos that they built out of ice.
Ice ages are periods of extensive glacial activity, impacting Earth's climate and geography by advancing and retreating ice sheets. During ice ages, glaciers can reshape landscapes, carve valleys, and deposit sediments, influencing the physical geography of regions they cover. Additionally, ice ages can cause sea levels to drop as water is stored in glaciers, exposing new land bridges and altering coastlines.
