1. ice age

   An ice age is a prolonged period in the Earth's geological history during which the planet's surface and atmosphere undergo significant cooling, leading to the formation and expansion of continental and polar ice sheets and alpine glaciers. It's marked by global temperatures significantly lower than average, contrasting with periods of relatively warmer climate known as "interglacial periods". This climatic era tends to have major impacts on the planet's climate, including changes in sea levels and wildlife distribution.

1. Ice age

   An ice age, or more precisely, a glacial age, is a period of long-term reduction in the temperature of the Earth's surface and atmosphere, resulting in the presence or expansion of continental ice sheets, polar ice sheets and alpine glaciers. Within a long-term ice age, individual pulses of cold climate are termed "glacial periods", and intermittent warm periods are called "interglacials". Glaciologically, ice age implies the presence of extensive ice sheets in the northern and southern hemispheres. By this definition, we are still in the ice age that began 2.6 million years ago at the start of the Pleistocene epoch, because the Greenland, Arctic, and Antarctic ice sheets still exist.
