Asked by Smofee - Mon Mar 31 18:48:35 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. Assume that the rate at which N. America and Eurasia are drifting apart has and will remain constant. To determine when the continents separated you'd: current distance between continents / rate of drift = time (ago) So for instance (made up numbers): (2000 miles) / (1 mile/year) = 2000 years remember...that's 2000 years ago. You have to subtract the number of years from the current year to get the specific point in time.

Q. What are the names of the two glaciers that covered much of North America during the Pleistocene? And which of the two was the larger glacier? Asked by lamae85 - Sun Dec 3 18:08:56 2006 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. I'm having difficulty finding these names. I seem to recall from Glacial Geology a Laurentide Ice Sheet and a Cordilleran Ice Sheet, however (both were still retreating when I was in grad school). The Laurentide sheet (if that was it's name!) was much the larger, covering much of North America, down to the Ohio River (across it, in some cases). The Cordilleran sheet (western NA) was amplified by numberous mountain or Alpine glaciers.
