So I've decided that since I'm learning about these geography concepts that probably the best way for me to remember them would be to write about them...share with others...besides we both learn that way ;-).Quarternary Climate
- The duration lasted about 2 million years
- Nature of the climate - repeated alternations of warm & cold climate
- Glaciations - the concept of past glaciations was initially developed by the Swiss-American naturalist Louis Agassiz; glacial deposits were found in areas that are too warm to support glaciers today; four major glaciations occurred during the Quarternary - glacial ice cover extent - which included all of Scandinavia, most of the British Isles, Alps, almost all of Canada, and a portion of the Great Lakes region and the New England area
