Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book encompasses various theories and evidence surrounding the Ice Age, unraveling the geological and climatological riddles of this intriguing epoch. The author delves into theories proposed by geologists like Ramsay, Jukes, Geikie, and others, examining the interplay between ice sheets, glacial processes, erosion, and geological formations. One central theory explored is that of James Croll, who attributed the Ice Age to an increase in the Earth's orbital eccentricity. However, the book also presents the alternative theory put forward by Thomas Belt, which suggests that a change in the Earth's axis of rotation, resulting in a greater tilt, was the primary driver of the Ice Age. The author thoroughly evaluates these theories, analyzing evidence from icebergs, glacial deposits, and the distribution of plant and animal species. Through this comprehensive exploration, the book sheds light on the complex interplay of factors that shaped Earth's climate during this pivotal period.
