CHAPTER XXII
THE CONTINENTAL GLACIERS OF THE “ICE AGE”
=Earlier cycles of glaciation.=—Our study of the rocks composing the
outermost shell of the lithosphere tells us that in at least three
widely separated periods of its history the earth has passed through
cycles of glaciation during which considerable portions of its surface
have been submerged beneath continental glaciers. The latest of these
occurred in the yesterday of geology and has often been referred to as
the “ice age”, because until quite recently it was supposed to be the
only one of which a record was preserved.
