prevailed in Germany always cold and ice ages
Wiesbaden (fossil-world) - While about 4.6 billion years old was the Earth's history It always had a cold period, or an ice age, the drastic consequences for the landscape, flora and fauna. Then the Wiesbaden science writer Ernst Probst has in its pocket books "Records of ancient times" and "Germany during the ice age" out, both with "GRIN for academic texts" appeared.
In Precambrian before about 2.4 billion years ago and about 700 million years on Earth, the first ice ages have occurred. Geological evidence of the Ice Age about 700 million years are known from Normandy, Scotland and Norway.
In the Ordovician period before about 510 and 436 million years were the coldest times, Brazil and West Africa ever experienced. At first were probably the north-eastern Brazil and Guyana in the South Pole, and later West Africa came into this position. Back then, a mile-thick ice cap rested on large parts of Brazil and West Africa. Other parts of Brazil and the Sahara were shallow sea areas where excessive huge icebergs. Today's Pacific Ocean was under the North Pole.
to the coldest regions in Devon less than 410 million years ago was one of South Africa. It was at that time under the South Pole, as is shown by traces of glaciation on Table Mountain in Cape Town. Africa, then moved over the South Pole, South America and South Africa were part of a cold-water region. One of the fiercest in the Paleozoic ice ages was less than 355 million years ago in the Carboniferous. The last ice age
began about 2.6 million years ago and ended about 11,700 years. It was a constantly changing display of some very fierce cold phases marked and mild warm periods. The cold periods are called glacial period when no glacier advances known. Was there glacier advances is called an ice age. The hot hot hot periods of time.
In warm periods and cold periods and ice ages existed in each case a different plant and animal life. In warm periods, for example, lived in Germany - as fossils show - including monkeys, hippos and lions. Remains of a 600,000-year-old animal world, as now found in Africa, for example, in the area of Wiesbaden. In the last section of the ice age (Weichsel ice age or Würm ice age), there was in Germany reindeer, mammoths and woolly rhinoceroses.
in Ice Age Europe, America and Asia were affected by large-scale glaciations. In the coldest periods of the Ice Age were the average temperature in July from plus 5 to 10 degrees Celsius.
The oldest traces of glacier advances in northern Germany are dated in the northern German Elster ice age about 400,000 years. At that time covered the Scandinavian glaciers throughout northern Germany. They urged also to the region of Dresden (Saxony), Erfurt (Thüringen), Soest, Recklinghausen and Kettwig (all of North Rhine-Westphalia) before.
The furthest advances of alpine glaciers in Germany took place in the southern German Mindel ice age about 400,000 years. They ranged up to Biberach an der Riss, Ottobeuren, Mindelheim Furstenfeldbruck, Erding, Mühldorf am Inn and Burghausen on the Salzach River. In the southern German crack ice age about 200,000 years ago, the alpine glaciers advanced almost to Munich and Augsburg.
The last ice age with glacier advances in Germany are the North German Weichsel ice age and the South German Würm Ice Age, about 115,000 to 10,000 years ago (8,000 BC). The Vistula-Baltic Ice Age glaciers spread about 20,000 years ago to Flensburg, Kiel, Hamburg and Brandenburg. The Würm glacial alpine glacier covered the foothills of the Alps from Lake Constance to Salzburg. Between the Nordic and alpine glaciers lay a 600 km wide, ice-free area.
