Quaternary Ice Age

The Quaternary Ice Age was a time period when the worlds temperature dropped and weather was terrible. We are still suffering from the Quaternary Ice Age and some of its effects because Antarctica is still completely frozen over. There were many different ice age epochs during the Quaternary and they all had a different effect. The ice ages led to extinction of animals, exposure of lands, death of vegetation and I'm pretty sure it caused many lives as well. All areas that this took place were effected greatly and animals such as the mammoth were affected tremendously by this ice age because of the destruction of the mammoth steppe. Citizens had to adjust to their lands being frozen over completely and ice shelves floating in their waters. Lakes and rivers freezing and also water not being allowed to exit because of the ice shelves blocking the river drainage ways. The Quaternary had such a huge affect on us that we are still feeling the effects of it today because the temperatures of our waters are colder than they were before the ice age happened. We are also still in it and edging towards leaving the ice age because Antarctica is still alive and as icy as can be.
