Ice ages are long periods of time in which Earth is covered with thick ice sheets called glaciers. This period can stay for thousands or millions of years. The oceans and seas are frozen and the temperature is cooled. Also many sources of fresh water were locked behind those ice sheets. The most recent ice age was about 10,000 years ago.
