10 Σεπ 2024 · The map above titled “Colder Times” illustrates the Earth’s geography between 26,000 and 19,000 years ago years during the Last Glacial Maximum. During this period, significant portions of the Earth’s surface were covered by ice sheets, and the sea levels were about 125 meters (410 feet) lower than today, exposing more land.
3 ημέρες πριν · Map of the extent of the ice during the last glacial maximum in northern Eurasia, showing the ice sheets, floating ice, and the ice-dammed lakes, as well as the margins of lakes such as Lake Black (the present Black Sea, much reduced in size), Lake Caspian, Lake Aral, and the huge Lake Mansi, as well as many smaller lakes.
2 Ιουν 2023 · This map by cartographer Perrin Remonté offers a snapshot of the Earth from that time, using data of past sea levels and glaciers from research published in 2009, 2014, and 2021, alongside modern-day topographical data. Let’s dive into the differences between the two Earths below.
24 Απρ 2024 · There were two main glacial periods within the Cryogenian, each lasting for about 20 million years: the Sturtian at around 700 Ma and the Marinoan at 650 Ma. There is also evidence of some shorter glaciations both before and after these.
Since then, Earth has been in an interglacial period called the Holocene. Glacial periods are colder, dustier, and generally drier than interglacial periods. These glacial–interglacial cycles are apparent in many marine and terrestrial paleoclimate records from around the world.

24 Νοε 2023 · There were two main glacial periods within the Cryogenian, the Sturtian from 720 to 660 Ma, and the Marinoan from 645 Ma to 635 Ma. The end of the Cryogenian glaciations coincides with the evolution of relatively large and complex life forms on Earth.
