Difference between Ice cap and Last glacial period

Ice cap vs. Last glacial period

An ice cap is a mass of ice that covers less than 50,000 km2 of land area (usually covering a highland area). The last glacial period occurred from the end of the Eemian interglacial to the end of the Younger Dryas, encompassing the period years ago.

Similarities between Ice cap and Last glacial period

Ice cap and Last glacial period have 7 things in common (in Unionpedia): Glacial period, Glacier, Great Lakes, Ice field, Ice sheet, Iceberg, Iceland.

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.

Glacier

A glacier is a persistent body of dense ice that is constantly moving under its own weight; it forms where the accumulation of snow exceeds its ablation (melting and sublimation) over many years, often centuries.

Great Lakes

The Great Lakes (les Grands-Lacs), also called the Laurentian Great Lakes and the Great Lakes of North America, are a series of interconnected freshwater lakes located primarily in the upper mid-east region of North America, on the Canada–United States border, which connect to the Atlantic Ocean through the Saint Lawrence River.
