Is it true that during the ice age the ocean level was much higher than it is today?

No, during the ice age the ocean levels were actually lower than they are today. This is because a significant amount of water was locked up in glaciers and ice sheets on land, leading to lower sea levels.


Ask us anythingDuring the Ice Age the ocean levels were than now.?

During the Ice Age, ocean levels were lower than they are now due to the amount of water being locked up in glaciers and ice sheets on land. As these ice sheets melted, they released water back into the oceans, causing sea levels to rise.

Lower


What earth system interacts with the atmosphere during the melting of polar ice caps?

The ocean interacts with the atmosphere during the melting of polar ice caps. As the ice caps melt, the released freshwater enters the ocean, affecting ocean temperatures and currents. This interaction can impact weather patterns and sea level rise.


What would happen to the oceans if surface runoff and groundwater flow were reduced for example by the growth of ice sheets during an ice age?

If surface runoff and groundwater flow were reduced due to the growth of ice sheets during an ice age, the input of freshwater into the oceans would decrease. This could potentially lead to a rise in salinity levels in the oceans, affecting marine life adapted to specific salinity levels. It may also impact ocean circulation patterns and potentially disrupt the global climate system.

Why During Ice Age what is likely to happen to the levels of ocean around the world?

During the last Ice Age the ocean water levels were 120 m lower than present levels as water was tied up in ice covering the land masses to a depth of several kilometres.


Where did all the water and ice go after the ice age?

After the ice age, much of the water and ice from melting glaciers drained into the oceans, raising sea levels. Some water also returned to the atmosphere through evaporation and precipitation. Additionally, some ice melted and formed rivers and lakes.

There are about 9 million cubic miles of ice on earth where are they mostly located?

The ice was mostly located in the artic ocean because during the ice age the whole ocean froze making the "land" bridge, which never fully melted.


What is Alaska's colony?

Alaska has no colony, but the first people to arrive there were prehistoric Russian clans that crossed the ocean in the ice age without boats. How you ask? The ocean was frozen and with an ice shelf of course!

Why were ocean levels were much lower dueing the ice age then they are now?

There was more ice and today due to global warming the ice is melting. Which means there is less ice and more water.
