An #IceAge is a period of long-term reduction in Earth's temperature, resulting in the expansion of continental ice sheets and alpine glaciers. These periods are characterized by significant changes in climate, sea levels, and ecosystems.
Earth is currently in the ice age called #Quaternary #Glaciation.
