	Glaciation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A glaciation (a created composite term meaning Glacial Period, referring to the Period or Era of, as well as the process of High Glacial Activity), often called an ice age, is a geological phenomenon in which massive ice sheets form in the Arctic and Antarctic and advance toward the equator.
		The term ice age is used to refer either to a single glaciation or to an entire period of repeated glaciations such as the recent 30 million years of the Cenozoic period, especially the Pleistocene glaciations.

	Wisconsin glaciation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		During the glacial maximum in Scandinavia, only the western parts of Jutland (a part of Denmark) were ice-free during the glaciation and a large part of what is today the North Sea was dry land connecting Jutland with Britain.
		This glaciation is made of three glacial maximums (commonly called ice ages) separated by interglacial periods (such as the one we are living in).
		Montane and piedmont glaciers formed the land by grinding away virtually all traces of the older Günz and Mindel glaciation, by depositing base moraines and terminal moraines of different retraction phases and loess deposits, and by the pro-glacial rivers' shifting and redepositing gravels.

		The Kansan Glaciation (known in UK as the Anglian Glaciation and sometimes referred to as the Illinoian Glaciation, Elster glaciation in northern Europe and the Mindel glaciation in the Alps) was a very severe glacial period in the Pleistocene.
		The Huronian glaciation was from 2400 mya to 2100 mya, during the Siderian and Rhyacian periods of the Paleoproterozoic era.

		Outlet glaciers are formed by the movement of ice from a polar ice cap, or an ice cap from mountainous regions, to the sea.
		Glacial deposits are often known as till or drift drift, deposit of mixed clay, gravel, sand, and boulders transported and laid down by glaciers.
		A glacier moves as a solid rather than as a liquid, as is indicated by the formation of crevasses (see crevasse crevasse (krəvăs`), large crack in the upper surface of a glacier, formed by tension acting upon the brittle ice.

	Kansan Glaciation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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.
		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.
		Glaciers probably also occupied much larger areas in the mountains than they did at the last glacial maximum.

	Ice age - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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 idea that, in the past, glaciers had been far more extensive was folk knowledge in some alpine regions of Europe (Imbrie and Imbrie, p25, quote a woodcutter telling Jean de Charpentier of the former extent of the Swiss Grimsel glacier).
		The colder periods are called 'glacial periods', the warmer periods 'interglacials', such as the Eemian interglacial era.

		A pluvial is a warmer period of increased rainfall; an interpluvial, of decreased rainfall.
		Glaciation in the Pleistocene was a series of glacials and interglacials, stadials and interstadials, mirroring periodic changes in climate.

		It has been suggested also that the end of this cold period was responsible for the subsequent Cambrian Explosion, a time of rapid diversification of multicelled life during the Cambrian era.
		The marine record preserves all the past glaciations; the land-based evidence is less complete because successive glaciations may wipe out evidence of their predecessors.

		Glaciers have been retreating during the past 10,000 years, leaving large granite boulders scattered in the forests in the region.
		During the last ice age, the W rm glaciation, the Black Forest was covered by glaciers; several cirques such as the Mummelsee are remains of this period.
		The widespread distribution of Permo-Carboniferous glacial sediments in South America, Africa, Madagascar, Arabia, India, Antarctica and Australia was one of the major pieces of evidence for the theory of continental drift.

		The idea that, in the past, glaciers had been far more extensive was folk knowledge in some alpine regions of Europe (Imbrie and Imbrie, p25, quote a woodcutter telling de Charpentier of the former extent of the Swiss Grimsel glacier).
		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.
		Long Island was formed from glacial till, and the watersheds of Canada were so severely disrupted that they are still sorting themselves out -- the plethora of lakes on the Canadian Shield in northern Canada can be almost entirely attributed to the action of the ice.

		It has been suggested that the end of this ice age was responsible for the subsequent Cambrian Explosion, though this theory is recent and controversial.
		An abundance of land within the Arctic and Antarctic Circles appears to be a necessity for an ice age, probably because the landmasses provide space on which snow and ice can accumulate during cooler times and thus trigger positive feedback processes like albedo changes.
		Other rivers were dammed and diverted to new channels, such as the Niagara, which formed a dramatic waterfall and gorge, when the waterflow encountered a limestone escarpment.
