How do glaciers and ice sheets change the Earth's crust?
Continental ice sheets press down the Earth's crust. They deposit rich soil over the land. Glaciers carve valleys out of rock.
During the most recant ice age glacier covered about percent of the earth's land area?
The previous answer was incorrect. NOW the Earth's surface is covered with ice, but during the most recent ice age, NEARLY 30% of the Earth was covered by ice!I'm a little bold
What covered almost one-fourth of the earth during the ice age?

Times of extreme cold when great sheets of ice covered parts of the earth was known as?

How much of the Earth's surface is covered by ice?
10.4 percent of the earth is covered in ice (About 6,020,000 square miles).About 10.4 percent of the world's land surface, or approximately 6,020,000 square miles (15,600,000 square kilometers), is glaciated. Glaciated means permanently covered with ice. That ice takes the form of glaciers, ice sheets, or ice caps.one-tenthnot a lot!
Why does the earth have ice caps?
In the latest ice age almost the whole world was covered with ice (almost as far as the equator), most of that ice has now retreated as the earth's temperature increased but what is left is still at the coldest parts of the world i.e. the poles. The ice was created from water freezing at the low temperatures and then covered with snow.
