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.
2 Ιουν 2023 · Was it all endless glaciers and frozen ice? The answer is a partial yes—with some interesting caveats. The Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), colloquially called the last ice age, was a period in Earth’s history that occurred roughly 26,000 to 19,000 years ago.
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.
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.

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. What causes glacial–interglacial cycles?
4.1 Glacial Periods in Earth’s History We are currently in the middle of a glacial period that started about 34 million years ago, but became more intense about one million years ago. During that time glaciers have expanded and contracted on a time scale of around 100,000 years.
