Is the following sentence true or not The most recent ice age ended about one hundred years ago?

No, the most recent ice age actually ended around 11,700 years ago. This was known as the Pleistocene epoch, in which there were periodic glacial cycles.


What came before the Ice Age?

Before the Ice Age, the Earth went through numerous cycles of warming and cooling periods known as glacial and interglacial periods. The most recent ice age, known as the Pleistocene Ice Age, began around 2.6 million years ago, following a period of warmer climate.


True or false during an ice age land can move and specific areas can be permanently changed?

False. During an ice age, the movement of landmasses (plate tectonics) continues, but the specific changes caused by glaciation are not permanent. As ice sheets advance and retreat, they can reshape the landscape by eroding and depositing material, but once the ice melts, the land gradually assumes its previous form.


Scientists believe that the Earth is presently overdue for an Ice Age?

While it is impossible to predict when the next ice age will occur with certainty, some scientists suggest that we are about due for another one based on historical patterns. However, human-induced climate change may affect the timing and severity of the next ice age.


Did glaciers cover Iowa in the last ice age true or false?

True. During the last ice age, glaciers covered parts of Iowa, including the northern and eastern regions of the state. The glaciers sculpted the landscape and left behind features like moraines, drumlins, and glacial deposits.

Which of the following statement about ice melting is true A energy flows from the ice to its surroundings B water molecules move from their fixed position C water molecules lose energy?

the answer.when water freezes it turns into ice.ices particles are in a fixed position.when heat is aplied to the ice it melts.now the particles are still close together but they have a little space in between them.so they move from their fixed position.get it?
