Also glacial epoch, Pleistocene epoch. The period ending around 10 000 years ago during which much of the northern half of the Earth was covered with huge sheets of ice.
A synonym used for glacial epoch or a time of extensive glacial activity.
Period of time when glaciers dominate the landscape of the Earth. The last major Ice Age was during the Pleistocene epoch.
A time of great glacial advance, the last one ending about 10,000 years ago.
a geologic time period during which massive sheets of ice covered the majority of the earth's surface.
any period of time during which glaciers covered a large part of the earth's surface; "the most recent ice age was during the Pleistocene"
a geologic period, but could
a long -term downturn in Earth's educationworld
a long -term downturn in Earth's www
a long time interval (millions to tens of millions of years) when air temperatures are relatively cold and large areas of the Earth are covered by glaciers, both in the mountains (alpine or valley glaciers) and over continents (continental glaciers)
an extreme climatic condition which has occurred several times in the past
a time when many glaciers cover many parts of the earth
The Pleistocene period when a large part of the Northern Hemisphere was intermittently covered with glaciers
Huge sheets of ice covered much of the Earth during the Pleistocene Epoch (2 mya to 10,000 years ago), and became known as the Ice Age; a time of very large birds and land mammals, including the mammoth and the saber-toothed tiger, as well as humans.
a period of geologic time during which glacial activity dominates and the land surface is covered by ice.
A period approximately 18,000 years ago when ice covered a large part of the Earth's surface
A loosely used synonym of glacial epoch, or time of extensive glacial activity; specifically the latest of the glacial epochs, also known as the Pleistocene Epoch.
A period during which the Earth is substantially cooler than usual and a significant portion of its land surface is covered by glaciers. Ice ages generally last tens of millions of years.
A period in Earth's history when much of the continents are covered with ice sheets and glaciers.
A period in the earth's history that most of the world was covered in ice.
The popular name for the most recent period of glacial activity, also known as the Pleistocene Epoch, which began some 2 million years ago and is still in progress. That period which continental glaciers overspread vast regions of northern North America.
a time of widespread glaciation
is a geological time period during which sheets of ice cover extensive parts of the Earth.
Period during which polar ice extends to much lower latitudes than normal.
Periods in the Earth's history when the climate was colder and glaciers expanded to cover large areas of the Earth's surface. Ice ages have come and gone many times and will probably continue to do so.
A time of extensive glacial activity also called a glacial epoch (see definition for Pleistocene).
The period of geologic time between 10,000 and 2.5 million years before the present, marked by increased glacial coverage of the earth's surface. The Pleistocene Epoch essentially spans the same period of time as the Ice Age.
A major interval of geologic time during which extensive ice sheets formed over many parts of the world.
The period of Prehistory between 35,000 and 12,000 years ago, when huge ice sheets covered much of northern Europe and North America.
Night World legends state that about twenty thousand years ago, witches had control of the world. Their control was disrupted by the beginning of an ice age. An ice age refers to a period of time where a specific geographic region is covered by thick sheets of ice. An ice age commonly lasts for millions of years, affecting considerable amounts of area. Many ice ages have occurred during the history of the Earth. The most ancient occurrence of an ice age is presumed to have occurred six hundred million years ago! An ice age usually occurs every two hundred million years and lasts for about one hundred million years. The most recent known case of an ice age occurring was during the Pleistocene Epoch, which occurred about twenty-five hundred thousand years ago and ended just over ten thousand years ago. Ice ages destroy plant and animal life and in the Night World series, when the ice age begins, the witches are too busy fighting off the vampires during the Night Wars, to save their world. The Earth is destroyed by ice and when a new world forms, vampires seise control.-- Back.
A period of many thousands, even millions of years, during which time the Ice Caps extend towards formerly mild/warmer areas of the globe. An Ice Age may follow the dramatic climate change triggered by a large scale impact, such as an asteroid collision.
A period of cool, dry climate that intermittently plagues planets, causing, in the case of Earth, long-term buildup of ice in polar regions and at higher elevations; which under the influence of gravity will migrate from the points of concentration.
any of the times when large protions of the earth were covered with glaciers, as in the late Precambrian, in the early Cambrian, and in the Permian. – Ice Age: the most recent such time, during the Pleistocene, when much of the Northern Hemisphere was covered with glaciers. [AHDOS
An ice age is a time lasting thousands of years during which the Earth is very cold and largely covered by ice and glaciers.
Interval of geologic time between 2 million and 10,000 years ago during which the northern hemisphere experienced several episodes of continental glacial advance and retreat along with a climatic cooling.
An ice age is a period of long-term downturn in the temperature of Earth's climate, resulting in an expansion of the continental ice sheets, polar ice sheets and mountain glaciers ("glaciation"). Glaciologically, ice age is often used to mean a period of ice sheets in the northern and southern hemispheres; by this definition we are still in an ice age (because the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets still exist). More colloquially, when speaking of the last few million years, ice age is used to refer to colder periods with extensive ice sheets over the North American and Eurasian continents: in this sense, the last ice age ended about 10,000 years ago.
Ice Age was the eleventh set and the sixth expansion set, released in June 1995. Set in the years from 450 to 2934 AR, the set describes a world set in perpetual winter due to the events in Antiquities.
Ice Age was a progressive band from New York, USA.
