HERE ARE SOME FACTS ABOUT THE GEOGRAPHY OF THE ICE AGE!

The glaciers in North America spread from the Hudson Bay region and covered nearly all of Canada. Glaciers that pushed rocks and dirt away were bulldozers. The glaciers ground all the rocks into a powder that is called loess. This loess is found in Northern China, Ukraine, Kansas, and the Mississippi Valley. The glaciers spread across all the lakes and rivers, and when it spread over the ocean, the ocean level dropped 300feet (90 meters)!!
