Glaciers and the Glacial Ages
The landscape of Vermont, as well as the landscape of much of northern North America, Europe and Russia has been profoundly affected by glaciation over the last 1.5 million years.
What are glaciers?
How do they form?
What are the physical effects of glaciers?
Can these effects be seen here in Vermont?
How frequently do Ice Ages occur?
When did the last glacial age end?
Will glaciers again advance over North America?
