The times in the past when continental glaciers covered large parts of Earth and land surface were the?
The times in the past when continental glaciers covered large parts of Earth are known as ice ages. The most recent major ice age, the Quaternary glaciation, began around 2.58 million years ago and continues to the present, with significant glacial advances occurring during the Pleistocene epoch. During these periods, large expanses of North America, Europe, and Asia were covered by thick ice sheets, profoundly impacting global climate, sea levels, and ecosystems.

They are called ice ages :)
How much area does ice occupy on earth?
Roughly 10% of Earth's land area is covered by ice in the form of glaciers and ice caps. In addition, about 7% of the Earth's surface is covered by ice in the form of ice sheets in Antarctica and Greenland.
What percent of earth is covered by glaciers?
About 10.4% of the worlds land surface is glacier. That is way lower than we should have. Stop polluting, littering, and being bad for our Earth!ilovecatz1234

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.

What percentage of earth is covered by continental land mass?
About 25% to 35% of continental land mass covers the Earth. This is because about 75% to 70% of water covers the Earth. You can subtract 75 or 70 by 100 to find out.
