World Map Last Ice Age

This map depicts the earth during the last ice age, specifically the late glacial maximum (roughly 14,000 bce) when the climate began to warm substantially.with so much of the planet's water tied up in ice, global sea level was more than 400 feet lower than it is today. A team at the zurich school of applied sciences has created exactly that: With so much of the planet's water tied up in ice, global sea level was more than 400 feet lower than it is today.

When did the last ice age occur? They begin with the glaciers at their maximum extent 18,000 years ago. Although it has some competition from cold conditions occurring between 300 and 250 million years ago, the most significant ice age in the last half a billion years may be the most recent.

The map includes an interactive timeline which allows you to view the conditions from 37,000 years ago through to 8000 years ago.

By the time shown in the lastmap, 8,000 years ago, glaciers were no longer present in the midwestern united states. 18 comments 97% upvoted log in or sign up to leave a comment And they reveal a pattern that continues today: From 19000 bc to 3000 ad, it shows the evolution of the earth’s surface, including sea levels, coast lines, ice cover, and vegetation.
