I think there are some results of that. For instance, the sea level was lower than at present, due to the large volume on moisture trapped as ice on the land, glaciation extended beyond present continental shorelines. Separate centers of now accumulation and ice formation developed. Large lakes were created between the western mountains of North America and the advancing ice front. To the south, huge rivers carried away glacial meltwaters.

Still not sure

Additional answer

Mountain ranges were not made by glaciation. They were pushed up by the movement of tectonic plates - although they may have been susequently shaped by glaciers

Which would be likely to occur in a region of continetal glaciation but not in a region of valley glaciaton?

The presence of large ice sheets covering extensive land areas would be likely in a region of continental glaciation. This type of glaciation is characterized by vast ice sheets that spread over entire continents, unlike valley glaciation which occurs in mountain valleys and is more localized in scope.


How does glaciation work?

Glaciation occurs when snow accumulates over time and compresses into ice. This ice then flows downhill under its weight, forming glaciers. Glaciers erode the land, carving out valleys and shaping the landscape through processes like plucking and abrasion.


What shape does a valley becomes after glaciation?

After glaciation, a valley can become a U-shaped valley, which is wider and shallower compared to the original V-shaped valley. This transformation is due to the erosion caused by the movement of glaciers, which tend to widen and deepen valleys as they erode and transport material.


What was a direct result of the development of agriculture?

One direct result of the development of agriculture was the rise of settled societies and permanent villages, as people no longer needed to be nomadic hunter-gatherers. Agriculture also led to population growth, establishment of social hierarchies, division of labor, and technological advancements such as irrigation and metal tools.


The formation of the Alps is the direct result of collision between what two continents?

The formation of the Alps is the result of the collision between the Eurasian Plate and the African Plate. The convergence of these two plates caused intense folding and faulting of the Earth's crust, leading to the uplift of the Alpine mountain range.
