Which continents was not covered by ice during the pleistocene ice age?
Australia was one continent not covered by ice during the Pleistocene Ice Age. Africa is another continent not covered during this time.
Are we still going through an ice age?
Yes, we are currently in an ice age known as the Quaternary Ice Age, which began around 2.6 million years ago. Within this ice age, we are in an interglacial period, which is a warmer phase between glaciations.
How thick was the ice in the ice age?
It is suspected that during the ice age the ice ranged from around 2000 - 2500 meters in depth. But all over the face of the earth this depth varied in some areas the ice would have been no more than a few meter deep. I depends were and what walked on the ice much of it was untouched!

What were the great lakes formed by?
The Great Lakes were formed by the retreat of glaciers at the end of the last ice age, around 10,000 years ago. The melting glaciers left behind depressions that filled with water, creating the five interconnected freshwater lakes we see today.
What period of time was the ice age in?
The present Ice Age started about 2.58 million years ago and the last one ended in 10,000 BC. We are living in a warm period in the ice age called an interglacial.
What are the dates of the last three ice ages?
The last three ice ages occurred during the Pleistocene epoch, with approximate dates as follows: the most recent ice age ended about 11,700 years ago, the one before that ended around 129,000 years ago, and the one prior to that ended approximately 324,000 years ago.
When did the last ice-age end?
Well for one thing, it didn't. The definition of Ice Age is a period of extensive glaciation with brief interglacials between the points of highest glaciation. By that definition we're are still in the middle of an ice age, a warm bit of one, but still in one. If we weren't in an Ice Age there would be no glacials, whatsoever.
What great lake in the last ice age is farthest north and farthest west?
There were no Great Lakes during the last Ice Age. The area in which the Great Lakes are presently located was covered by a glacier that was from one to three kilometers thick.

How do scientistis think earths orbit relates to an ice age?
Changes in the earth's rotation can lead to an ice age. Scientists believe the earth's orbit and tilt caused the last ice age and may cause another one in the near future.
Are there any glaciers in the british isles?
No. The last one was about 10,000 years ago during the Ice Age.
Why did people stay in one place after the last ice age ended?
So they would get used to the climate
What are some geographic differences during the last ice age?
The last ice age before the present one--the Quarternary (2.58 million years ago to the present)--was called the Karoo Ice Age (360-260 million years ago). The primary geographic difference was the existence of the global continents of Gondwana and Laurasia.
When did the last glaciation or ice age begin?
The present ice age started about 2.6 million years ago at the beginning of the Pleistocene Epoch. It is composed of repeated glaciations, the last one starting about 95,000 years ago and mainly ending about 12,000 years ago.
What are the different theories on the Philippine origin before the ice age?
One theory suggests that ancient human ancestors arrived in the Philippines via land bridges during the Pleistocene epoch. Another theory proposes that they arrived by sea using primitive boats or rafts. These theories suggest that humans inhabited the Philippines before the last ice age due to its proximity to mainland Asia.
