ICE AGE Grazielle e João B. - 6ºD – 2012

INTRODUCTION The glacial age, is are temperature reduction in the Earth`s surface and atmosfere, resuting in the presece or expansion of continental snow, polar ice, individual pulses of cold climate are termed “glacial period”.

THE DANGERS OF ICE AGE The ice age extinct some animals which were not used to hot places. The oceans froze and the world stayed without water.

GOOD EFECTS FROM THE ICE AGE The animals got used to cold places and reproduced more. There was a path frozen which connected continents.
