The main difference between geography and geology is that geography is mostly dealing with the physical overall shapes of the land. Geology is a science that is interested in how the land got into the shape it did.

Geology is mostly about what the ground is made up of from a natural perspective. What kind of rocks it contains and how those rocks or layers of rocks got there.

Geography is mostly dealing with mapping the extent of landforms, how far rivers are, how long mountain ranges are, how long the coast line is. This is often from the perspective of people or culture.

The most recent Ice Age occurred during the________. Jurassic period Quaternary period Mesozoic era
raketka [301]

Answer:

Quaternary period

Explanation:

The last Ice Age on Earth occurred during the Quaternary period. This Ice Age only ended around 10,000 years BC, so very recently. During this period, big portions of the Earth were under ice, with approximately half of North America, as well as half of Eurasia being covered in ice. The mountains around the globe too were covered in glaciers. Because there was so much water trapped in the ice sheets and glaciers, the sea levels were much lower, which opened up lot of land-bridges between the islands and continents, which turned out to be crucial for the human migrations around the globe.
