Ohio's State Invertebrate Fossil, is a trilobite found in the formation. The Southern Hemisphere where Ohio was located at the end of the Ordovician experienced a widespread glaciation, around 438 million years ago. Sea level dropped due to the glaciation, accompanied by a subsidence of the land.
Little Ice Age: Various dates between 1250 and 1550 or later are held to mark the start of the Little ice age, ending at equally varied dates around 1850 1460–1550 Spörer Minimum cold; 1656–1715 Maunder Minimum low sunspot activity; 1790–1830 Dalton Minimum low sunspot activity, cold
The Laurentide ice sheet (LIS) was a massive sheet of ice that covered millions of square miles, including most of Canada and a large portion of the Northern United States, multiple times during the Quaternary glaciation epochs, from 2.58 million years ago to the present.
Get ready, winter is approaching. Here's what the NWS says about when Ohio could see its first snow. See the forecast.
Domestic production and sales were the largest single market source for ice in America and Europe. From the 1850s onwards ice cutting took on large-scale industrial proportions in Germany with Berlin as a key market. [8] In the 1880s, New York City had over 1500 ice delivery wagons and Americans consumed over 5 million tons of ice annually. [9]
A less severe cold period or ice age is shown during the Jurassic-Cretaceous (150 Ma). There have been five or six major ice ages in the history of Earth over the past 3 billion years. The Late Cenozoic Ice Age began 34 million years ago, its latest phase being the Quaternary glaciation, in progress since 2.58 million years ago.
