Ice Ages
Caused by long periods of reduced atmospheric and surface temperature, widespread continental glaciation and cooling are called Ice Ages or Glacial Ages. Questions about the most recent and current geologic period, the Quaternary, and other ice ages are what this category is all about.

The duration of Ice Age - film series - is 4.42 hours.
Was the entire earth covered in ice during the ice age?
It was not exactly covered in all ice, parts we covered in snow and the whole earth was not all land, parts were water
How mammoths were used in the ice age?
Mammoths were hunted by early humans for two main reasons. First, they were used for food. Secondly, their hide was good for shelter and possibly making clothing.
Even after the extinction of mammoths, the native Siberians engaged in trading mammoth ivory from skeletons.
What are some animals that lived during the Ice Age?
Animal life in the last Ice Age consisted of a larger diversity of animals closely related to those that live today, including relatives of bears, lions, buffaloes, sloths, and monkeys as well as species known to be extant today. The climate of the time was overall colder in average global temperature, so many types of animals existed that were adapted to the cold (e.g. many types of mammoths); others were adapted towards life on the dry interiors of continents such as North America (e.g. Smilodon cats). A small sampling of extinct species known to have lived in the Ice Age is given below:
Mammuthus primigenius (the woolly mammoth)
Mammuthus columbianii (the Columbian mammoth)
Mammut americanum (the American mastodon)
Smilodon fatalis (the largest Sabre-toothed cat)
Glyptotherium texanum (giant armadillo)
Megatherium americanum(giant ground sloth)
Coelodonta antiquitatis (the woolly rhinoceros)
Arctodus simus (the giant short-faced bear)
Megalodon carcharodon (the giant white shark)
Panthera Leo spelaea (the cave lion)
Homo neanderthalensis (Neanderthal man)
Did dinosaurs exist before the Ice Age?
No. The earth has three different motions around the sun. It spins like a top. That is called precession of the poles. Sometimes the North Pole is closer to the sun in winter. Sometimes it is closer to the sun in summer. Its Orbit changes from round to oblong and back to round. And it has a third motion. When all three motions reach a certain point, the world receives less sunlight and the northern hemisphere receives less sunlight in winter. It gets so cold that winter snow does not melt. The next ice age caused by motions of the earth around the sun is scheduled for 200,000 a.d.
What is the name of the mamoth in ice age?
There are three mammoths in the Ice Age movies. In the 1st movie Manfred "Manny" the mammoth (voiced by Ray Romano) is introduced. In the second movie Manny gets a girlfriend "Ellie" (voiced by Queen Latifah). The most current film Manny & Ellie have a little girls and name her "Peaches".

Horses were used by Mounted Infantry and Cavalry but, as the Western Front was usually static, they were not often used.
Dogs were also used for various purposes.
Information about the ice age?
During the Ice Age at least 1/3 of the earth was covered by ice. During this time people set traps for food and carry it home for it to be cooked. These areas were very cold and no grass grew except for a few shrubs and bushes.
What did became extinct in the ice age?
THE one and only WOOLLY MAMMOTH it has long fur that can be almost smelt by a human, it has two sharp tusks that are seen to be curved about 5m long or 16ft , also are very tall, also lastly scientist are actually very close to the close discovery of remaking a woolly mammoth.
Did trilobites come before stromatolite?
No, stromatolites are bacterial mats and have been around for at least 2,700,000,000 years.
Trilobites only appear in the fossil record about 526,000,000 years ago.
How did the ice age people make there clothes?
Cavemen weren't the best at hygiene. I would have to assume they did exactly what the indians did with their clothes. Wash it in a body of water or find a way to store water to put the clothes in.
How did an ice age make it possible for Asian hunters to migrate to the Americas?
As the glaciers expanded, the levels of the seas dropped - typically 30 feet or more. One thing that this did was to create a narrow land bridge from Eastern Russia to Alaska that is now underwater, with the exception of the Aleutian Islands. Virtually all anthropologists today accept this as the origin of the nomadic peoples that evolved into what we now call the Native American Tribes in the USA.
When did an ice age take place?
10.000B.C
just like the movie
The first known ice age was about 2.4 billion years ago and there have been many since then.
The present ice age started around 2.6 million years ago and has been interspersed with warm periods called interglacials just like the one we live in now.
What clothing did people use after the ice age?
In Ice age humans used to wear thick animal leathers and caps of animal skin to protect themselves from the temperature that time
What are all the animals in Maroo of The Winter Caves?

The countries most affected during the last glaciation were those countries which still experience snow and ice during the winter. That is most of the North American continent, most of Europe and Scandinavia, Russia, northern China and Japan.
These are called 'glaciers', which are disappearing at an alarming rate.

France was plagued with famine and medical epidemics.
Will there be another ice age for the UK?
The present ice age started about 2.6 million years ago so you don't need to wait for another. If you mean another glaciation, that is anyone's guess. Some people think climate change will bring on another glaciation, others think it will stop one. Whatever happens, because there are so many humans now on earth, there will not be room for all.
