During the last ice age, continental glaciers were found covering large portions of North America, northern Europe, and Siberia. These glaciers extended over Canada, the northern United States, Scandinavia, and parts of Russia, shaping the landscape and leaving behind distinct glacial features.
What else can I help you with?
Huge lake formed when continental glaciers dammed rivers in eastern Washington?
The huge lake formed in eastern Washington when continental glaciers dammed rivers is called Lake Missoula. This prehistoric lake was repeatedly filled and drained by the catastrophic Missoula Floods during the last ice age, shaping the landscape of the region.
During the Ice Age did the sea level rise or fall?
Sea level falls during ice ages because more water is locked up in glaciers.
During the last ice age how much of the earth's surface was covered by glaciers?
30%
What percent of earth is covered by glaciers during of the ice age?
During the peak of the last ice age, approximately 30% of Earth's surface was covered by glaciers. These glaciers were part of massive ice sheets that extended over North America, Europe, and Asia.
Are there any glaciers in Australia?
Yes, there are glaciers in Australia, but they are limited in number and size. The most well-known glacier in Australia is the Heard Island Glacier, located on Heard Island in the southern Indian Ocean. The glaciers in Australia are largely found in the Australian Antarctic Territory.
Did continental and valley glaciers advance during the ice age?
The glaciers advanced during the last glaciation, but they also advanced to some extent during the so-called "Little Ice Age" about 400 years ago. They withdrew as it started to become warmer about 200 years ago.

Is it true or false that all of north America was covered by a continential glacier in the last ice age?
False. At the last glacial maximum, the southernmost reach of the glaciers was around central Ohio. The areas that are now Mexixo and the southern U.S. were free of continental glaciers.
How did continental ice sheets shape the landscape of the northwest highland?
The Northwest Highlands is an ancient eroded region of rugged hills and low mountains. During the last ice age, glaciers scoured the landscapes of Scandinavia and much of the British Isles. Glaciers carved fjords along Norway's coast. When the ice melted, the retreating glaciers left behind thin soils and thousands of lakes.
