Difference between Ice age and Miocene

Ice age vs. Miocene

An ice age is a period of long-term reduction in the temperature of Earth's surface and atmosphere, resulting in the presence or expansion of continental and polar ice sheets and alpine glaciers. The Miocene is the first geological epoch of the Neogene Period and extends from about (Ma).

Similarities between Ice age and Miocene

Ice age and Miocene have 9 things in common (in Unionpedia): Albedo, Antarctic ice sheet, Carbon dioxide, Continental drift, Eocene, Glacial period, Greenhouse gas, Pleistocene, Year.

Albedo

Albedo (albedo, meaning "whiteness") is the measure of the diffuse reflection of solar radiation out of the total solar radiation received by an astronomical body (e.g. a planet like Earth).

Antarctic ice sheet

The Antarctic ice sheet is one of the two polar ice caps of the Earth.

Carbon dioxide

Carbon dioxide (chemical formula) is a colorless gas with a density about 60% higher than that of dry air.

Continental drift

Continental drift is the movement of the Earth's continents relative to each other, thus appearing to "drift" across the ocean bed.

Eocene

The Eocene Epoch, lasting from, is a major division of the geologic timescale and the second epoch of the Paleogene Period in the Cenozoic Era.

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.

Greenhouse gas

A greenhouse gas is a gas in an atmosphere that absorbs and emits radiant energy within the thermal infrared range.

Pleistocene

The Pleistocene (often colloquially referred to as the Ice Age) is the geological epoch which lasted from about 2,588,000 to 11,700 years ago, spanning the world's most recent period of repeated glaciations.

Ice age and Miocene Comparison

Ice age has 200 relations, while Miocene has 203. As they have in common 9, the Jaccard index is 2.23% = 9 / (200 + 203).
