Как мы ледниковый период осуществили;)
Ледниковый период — интервал времени с характерной продолжительностью в несколько миллионов лет, в течение которого на фоне общего относительного похолодания климата происходят неоднократные резкие разрастания материковых ледниковых покровов — ледниковые эпохи, которые чередуются с относительными потеплениями — эпохами сокращения оледенения (межледниковьями). Внутри отдельной ледниковой эпохи иногда выделяются интерстадиалы — периоды более мягкого климата.

Современное состояние климата Земли характеризуется принадлежностью к одной из межледниковых эпох голоцена — последнего по времени периода начавшейся около 65 млн лет назад кайнозойской эры. (википедния - источник)

Периоды похолодания климата, сопровождающиеся формированием континентальных ледниковых покровов, являются повторяющимися событиями в истории Земли. Интервалы холодного климата, в течение которых образуются обширные материковые ледниковые покровы и отложения длительностью в сотни миллионов лет, именуются ледниковыми эрами; в ледниковых эрах выделяются ледниковые периоды длительностью в десятки миллионов лет, которые, в свою очередь, состоят из ледниковых эпох — оледенений (гляциалов), чередующихся с межледниковьями (интергляциалами).

В истории Земли выделяются следующие ледниковые эры:

• Раннепротерозойская — 2,5—2 млрд лет назад


• Позднепротерозойская — 900—630 млн лет назад (см. Криогений)


• Палеозойская — 460—230 млн лет назад


• Кайнозойская — 65 млн лет назад — настоящее время

1. There have been approximately 11 different ice ages that have occurred
during the earth's 4.6 billion years of existence. The last ice age was called
"The Great Ice Age", and it occurred 11,000 years ago. During the "Great Ice Age"
over a third of the earth was covered in ice, and the air had less carbon dioxide in it.

2. Scientists believe there are two explanations of why the ice ages might have occurred.
They believe temperatures were much colder so it never rained, only snowed, or the earth
changed its tilt away from the sun.

3. When the earth began warming up after the last Ice Age, glaciers were left behind.
Glaciers are sheets of ice that cover rivers and valleys. The ice would begin to melt and
then refreeze. This process went on for millions of years.

4. About 10,000 years ago, the earth began to warm up and the ice started to melt.
As the ice melted it left lakes and valleys with a mixture of rocks and soil. The only ice that
was left was up high in the mountains. The glaciers that exist today are what is left over from
the last ice age.

5. Louis Aggasiz was one of the first scientists to study the clues of the ice age.
He was a Swiss-born American zoologist, geologist, and paleontologist, with a special expertise
in ichthyology (the study of fish). He was one of the most famous scientists of his day.
He was the founder and director of Harvard's Museum of Comparative Zoology,

6. In the mid 1800's, when Aggasiz told scientists that the boulders they saw had
been left by glaciers they thought that he was crazy. At this time in history, scientists
believed the boulders had been placed there by Noah's flood or by witchcraft.
The reason Louis Aggasiz proved that the glaciers had brought the giant boulders is,
because they were made of a kind of rock that couldn't be found in that area.
The boulders were made of granite. Other things proved that the ice age really existed,
such as the polished bedrock that was found, large sand and gravel piles, big valleys, and
rough mountain tops.

7. Some of animals that could be found during the Ice Age were the woolly mammoth,
wooly rhinos, cave bears, horses, wolves, bison and reindeer. Woolly mammoth, cave bear,
and woolly rhino are now extinct, but we know they existed during the Ice Age because people
painted pictures of these animals on the sides of their caves. The skeletons of the animals
have also been found. Cuts in these bones, from the hunters' knives, were found and in some
cases, the knives had been left sitting next to the skeleton.

8. Ice Age people lived 35,000 years ago. The men hunted and the women and children
prepared the food and made the clothing and shelters. Every part of the animal that was hunted
was used. The meat and organs were used for food. Their skins were cut and sewn into clothing,
blankets and shelters. The stomach was used to carry water. The bones were used for
needles, weapons and tools.

9. During an Ice Age the land looks very different. The Earth was frozen and bare.
When the land and temperatures are this barren and cold, the biome is called the tundra. Because the
weather is so cold and the ground is frozen, very few plants can exit. The only trees that grew were
evergreens. No grass or flowers grew, just shrubs, bushes, and moss grass. In the northern parts of
North America, Europe, and Asia there is still tundra.

10. Right now, the earth is experiencing a mini ice age.

к чему все это я пишу вообще:) а вот к тому:
мы тут заморозили ящериц и прочих рептилий тех давний лет, чтобы дать им шанс прочувствовать прелести ледникового периода;)



это потому что были осенние каникулы и мы могли позволить себе заниматься левыми делами, читать левую литературу и ставить всякие вне-школьные опыты...


крокодил у нас большой, в стаканчик не поместился, пришлось его замораживать в чашке;)


динозавры зато маленькие, в один стакан двое влезли;)




Полина лед фигачила камнем, хотела крокодила уже высвободить;)
