What made the ice melt in the ice age?

the reasons the ice stayed is because the sun couldn't reach it because if was block by miles thick of ashes and dust particles. Once it broke through, slowly but surely, it melted the ice.... i wonder.. if we are going to have another ice age anytime soon...


During which division of geologic time did the most recent ice age occur?

Technically we are still in a Ice age. As the definition of a ice age is "a time when a part of the planet is cover in permanent ice". Now we have perma-frost in the Arctic/Antarctic and ice covers our highest mountains all year round.There is less ice every year however.This is due to global warming.Due to this the oceans rise and grow colder.Never the less this still means we are still in the latest Ice age.


How can earth be in the middle of an ice age when it is experiencing global warming?

Earth is currently in an interglacial period within an ice age cycle, which means that although global temperatures are warming, the planet as a whole is still experiencing the effects of the ongoing ice age. The term "ice age" refers to a period of time when large portions of the Earth's surface are covered in ice sheets, which is distinct from short-term fluctuations in temperature like global warming.


What is A period when ice collects in high latitudes and move to lower latitudes is an?

An ice age. During an ice age, there is an accumulation of ice at the polar regions which then moves towards lower latitudes due to the Earth's climate and atmospheric conditions. This results in glaciation and the formation of ice sheets and glaciers in areas that are typically not covered in ice.


Is there any rational chance emission reductions can forestall global warming?

Global warming is coming - whether we stop 'greenhouse gas' emissions or not ! We're still coming out of the last ice-age - therefore temperatures are going to continue to rise.

(global warming is making the ice melt quicker).
