kherson [118]
<span>An ice age is the amount of the Earth's water that is locked up on land in the form of glaciers.
</span>According to the scientists, an ice age occurs every 100,000 years. There are five major ice ages in the Earth's history. That are the Andean-Saharan, Huronian, Karoo Ice Age, Cryogenian, and the current Quaternary glaciation.
