Glaciation and It's Causes
Introduction: What is a Glaciation?
An ice age is a period of time when the Earth's climate has an average temperature below 0° Celsius. There are two types of ice ages: continental and oceanic. Continental ice ages have to do with the amount of snow, ice, and permafrost that accumulates on land. Oceanic ice ages are related to changes in the temperature of seawater. .The start and end of an ice age is not clearly defined. The last continental ice age ended about 11,700 years ago, while the last oceanic ice age began about 40,000 years ago.
Causes of the Current Glaciation
Climate change is the rise in average global temperature caused by greenhouse gas emissions. There are many causes of climate change, but the primary cause is human activity.
The current glaciation is a time of low global temperatures and high levels of ice. This time period has been going on for more than 10,000 years and it began around the end of the last ice age.
How Glaciations are Triggered in the Future
The Earth is currently in an interglacial, which is a temporary period of warming between glacial periods. There are many theories that try to predict how the Earth will behave in the next few hundred years. Some people believe that we will experience another glaciation in the near future .The Earth is currently in an interglacial, which is a temporary period of warming between glacial periods.
