PPT-Glaciation

CGC 1D1 What are Glaciers Glaciers are huge masses of ice formed on land by the compaction and recrystallization of snow that move very slowly down slopes or move outward due to their own weight.

Assuming the output of energy is constant from the sun, the rays will be spread over a larger area, the nearer you get to the poles.. The Pleistocene Epoch. The Dawn of Humans and the Effects of Climate on Civilizations. Major Concepts. Climatic changes produced distinctive flora and fauna that was adapted to cold weather. Among flora were the expansion of grasslands, tundra, boreal spruce forests, and hardwood forests.
