Glaciáció
Glaciáció refers to the process of glaciation, the formation and expansion of glaciers or ice sheets. This geological phenomenon can occur on a continental scale, leading to ice ages, or on a more localized scale, creating mountain glaciers. The primary driver of glaciation is a sustained period of colder temperatures, which causes more snow to fall in winter than melts in summer, leading to the accumulation and compression of snow into ice.
During periods of extensive glaciation, vast ice sheets can cover large portions of continents, significantly altering
The Earth has experienced numerous glacial and interglacial periods throughout its history. These cycles are often
