Labels also have special number codes, which represent the following: 1  0 = means minimal hazard. 2  1 = means slight hazard. 3  2 = means moderate hazard. 4  3 = means serious hazard. 5  4 = means severe hazard.
A good way to summarize the paper by Snelling and Matthews is by presenting the timeline given in the article and accompanying poster: AiG Ice Age Timeline. 1  2350 B.C.âNoahs flood. 2  2350 to 2250 B.C.âAntarctica becomes covered by forests, then gets covered by its ice cap.  2250 to 2000 B.C.âIce age on the rest of Earth.
There have been five known ice ages in the Earth's history, with the Earth experiencing the Quaternary Ice Age during the present time. Within ice ages, there exist periods of more severe glacial conditions and more temperate referred to as glacial periods and interglacial periods, respectively.escriptions [edit]. The second ice age, and possibly most severe, is estimated to have occurred from 850 to 635 Ma (million years) ago, in the Neoproterozoic Era and it has been suggested that it produced a second  Snowball Earth  in which the earth iced over completely.
