1. Glacial period

   A glacial period (alternatively glacial or glaciation) is an interval of time (thousands of years) within an ice age that is marked by colder temperatures and glacier advances. Interglacials, on the other hand, are periods of warmer climate between glacial periods. The Last Glacial Period ended about 15,000 years ago. The Holocene is the current interglacial. A time with no glaciers on Earth is considered a greenhouse climate state.

1. glacial period

   A glacial period, also known as an ice age, is a prolonged period of significant reduction in the Earth's temperature, resulting in the expansion of continental and polar ice sheets and alpine glaciers. During these periods, there is a significant decrease in global temperatures which aids the growth of large ice sheets across different parts of the planet. Glacial periods are driven by various components of the Earth's climate system and are typically marked by the advance and retreat of glaciers.
