They are called ice ages :)
No. Only a fairly small percentage of Earth's land is covered by glaciers. However, about 75% of the surface is covered by water.
it is 28% of the world was covered by glaciers. 28% of the earth was covered by Glaciers during the Ice Age.
Yes, glaciers are major landforms. They are large masses of ice that can shape and sculpt the surrounding landscape through processes like erosion and deposition. Glaciers play a significant role in shaping the Earth's surface over long periods of time.
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.
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.
There is about 4.9% of land covered by glaciers in alaska.
about 69% of Earths fresh water is in glaciers.

Glaciers cover nearly 10% of Earth's land surface.
Ice ages, also known as glacial periods, occur when continental glaciers cover large parts of the Earth's surface, leading to colder temperatures and extensive ice accumulation. These periods can last for thousands to millions of years and have occurred multiple times throughout Earth's history.
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.

No. Neptune does not have a solid surface for glaciers to be on.
