		The Kansan Glaciation (known in UK as the Anglian glaciation, Elster glaciation in northern Europe and the Mindel glaciation in the Alps) was a severe glacial period in the Pleistocene.
		The Kansan Glaciation is generally taken as covering the period between 410,000 and 380,000 years before the present.
		It is considered that the Kansan Glaciation marks the absolute maximum extent of continental ice sheets in the Quaternary.

		The Kansan Glaciation (known in UK as the Anglian glaciation, Elster glaciation in northern Europe and the Mindel glaciation in the Alps) was a severe glacial period in the Pleistocene.
		It is considered that the Kansan Glaciation marks the absolute maximum extent of continental ice sheets in the Quaternary.
		These, however, indicate that the jet stream during the Kansan glaciation might have been as much as five degrees further south than it was during the last glacial maximum.

		The first and oldest glacier to enter Illinois was called the Nebraskan, and the next was the Kansan glacier.
		Since the glacial period most of Illinois' surface is level or gently sloping with the exception of a broken, hilly ridge that crosses the southern part of the state and the rugged terrain of the northwestern corner in Jo Davies County.
		A terminal moraine forms when a glacier is melting as rapidly as it is advancing; the rocks and soil freed from the melting ice settle as the water flows away.

		The Anglian glaciation is a name for an ice age period which occurred between 450,000 and 300,000 years ago.
		It was a full glacial phase and its deposits directly overlie material from the preceding Cromerian interglacial and lie beneath those from the following Hoxnian interglacial.
		It was formerly known as the Lowestoft glaciation.

		Kansan deposits are at the bottom of the Kansas River valley fill and are overlain by Wisconsinan and Recent deposits, at least locally at Kansas City.
		A lobe of one of the Kansan glaciers extended south of the Kansas River valley for nearly 10 miles in northwestern Johnson County and northeastern Douglas County, and meltwater from the ice front deposited sand and gravel that locally is preserved in low areas of the pre-glacial topography.
		Kansan deposits, both till and outwash, occur as much as 200 feet above the Kansas River flood plain in an area 1 to 10 miles south of the valley and as low as the present flood plain at the edge of the valley.

		The deposits of a glaciation were separated from each other by the evidence of intervals of time during which soils formed on the land surface.
		The deposits of earth and rock materials moved by a glacier and deposited in the area once covered by the glacier are collectively called drift.
		Each Pleistocene glaciation was followed by an interglacial stage that began when the climate warmed enough to melt the glaciers and their snowfields.

		During Kansan Glaciation the northern two-thirds of the area was occupied by glacial ice that caused major but only temporary changes in the drainage pattern.
		The presence of glacial ice over the part of the mapped area south of the Kansas River valley probably was of fairly short duration, for the diversion channels are not as deeply incised as some channels in Wabaunsee County that were utilized by the diverted river for a longer period.
		A lag concentrate of pebbles, cobbles, and boulders of limestone and glacial erratics is the remnant of glacial outwash along the diversion channel in the valley of the North Branch Wakarusa River.

	Ice age (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		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").
		The colder periods are called 'glacial periods', the warmer periods 'interglacials', such as the Eemian interglacial era.
		The end of the last glacial also corresponds quite closely to the development of permanent human settlements and agriculture, and it is possible that there is a connection between the two events.

		Across the glaciated portions of Ohio there are landforms and sediment that record the advance of several ice sheets during the last ice age.
		The Wisconsin glacial stage has probably been the best studied glacial advance because it was the last glacial advance in Ohio, and thus the deposits are in tact and in excellent condition for study.
		As the earliest glaciation came down, whether it be the Nebraskan, or Kansan can't be determined, but early glacial ice dammed the waters of the Teays river to the north forming a huge lake in south-eastern Ohio, north-eastern Kentucky, and western West Virginia.

	The prehistory of Monona, Iowa - Monona Historical Museum
		So powerful are these forces of glaciation, the ocean levels rise and fall coincidentally with the rise and decline of the glaciers as they absorb planetary water in the form of ice and release it (sometimes millions of years later) again as water.
		In North America, the glaciers extended as far south as the Ohio and Missouri Rivers and actually shaped the general courses of those rivers.
		The erosional processes of the pre-Illinoian glaciers scoured the gently tilted layers in a manner such that the progressively older rock occurs at the northeast corner of the state of Iowa.

		In addition to the glacial till deposits, parts of Iowa are covered by substantial amounts of windblown materials called loess.
		Its evident that the major producing soils of cash-rewarding crops is located on the loess lands of the northwest and the young glacial till of the north central part of the state on the Hapludolls and Haplaquolls.
		These activities are concentrated in the hilly bluff areas of Hapludalfs in the northeast and on the older dissected Kansan till areas of the south central part of the state on the Argiudolls and Argialbolls.

		Southern extent of Kansan Glaciation (Pleistocene) in Douglas County, Kansas.
		Merriam, D.F. The southern extent of the Kansan glacier in Douglas County, Kansas is marked by a series of discontinuous outcrops of boulder beds, comprised of erratics in a modified terminal-like morainal topography.
		Most of the material left by the glacier is outwash or reworked till and this material along with the boulder beds is definitive for marking the southern extent of the glacier.

	Glaciation
		The Green Bay lobe of the Wisconsin Glaciation formed pseudo caves on the Ledge and moved, apparently, parallel to the Niagra Escarpment.
		The glacier receded in a series of stages, creating recessional moraines, which mark a temporary icy delay in their retreat.
		Also, look for glacial erratics dotting the landscape, especially noticeable after a prescribed fire or built as a farmer's fence row, picked and moved from the fields.

		lived near the Atlantic coast and in Mexico from Kansan to Wisconsinan (about 800,000 to 10,000 years ago) time.
		died out toward the close of the last glaciation, perhaps partly because of the earlier extinction of some of the large herbivores that it may have preyed upon or scavenged, and partly because of increased competition with brown bears, which apparently entered North America during the Illinoian glaciation (some 200,000 to 130,000 years ago).
		The last view has been challenged by a 1995 study of paleodiet and ecology of short-faced and brown bears.

		The probable cause for the first glaciations to occur is a positive feedback loop triggered by the evolution of chlorophyll bearing plants or blue-green algae over 3.0 billion years ago.
		The last glaciation to occur prior to the Quaternary ice ages took place from the Carbiniferous to the Permian period (350-280 million years ago).
		Glacial and interglacial stages are now commonly referred to by their isotopic stage.

		Modern studies of glacial strata suggest that even this calendar must be revised, as more complicated vertical sequences of interbedded glacial and non-glacial deposits are being discovered and integrated into the framework of glacial history and climate change.
		Because older glacial sediments have been removed from this area, and because no young glacial deposits were ever present, this area is referred to as the "driftless area".
		Intervals between glacial advances are represented by ancient soils (paleosols) or lacustrine sediments or concentrations of stony material at the top of a till sheet (stone lines).

		Glacial boulders carried from far off sources are often present on the gently rolling surface.
		The surface of glacial deposits such as outwash, or till recently exposed by retreating ice, is subject to considerable wind erosion, because vegetation is not present to stabilize the material.
		Even where glacial ice was not primarily responsible for development of the landscape, such as in southeastern Minnesota, climate change and effects of the nearby ice, such as meltwater from the ice sheet, profoundly affected the topography.

		In North America, latitudinal gradients were so sharp that permafrost did not reach far south of the ice sheets except at high elevations.
		In warmer regions of the world, climates at the Last Glacial Maximum were extremely dry and generally cold.
		Though the last ice age is popularly seen as a long period, in fact the conditions of the Last Glacial Maximum are now believed to have persisted only for a very short time, probably only two thousand years.
