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.
These periods of time when large areas of the Earth are covered by ice sheets are called ice ages. The last of the ice ages in human experience (often referred to as the Ice Age) reached its maximum roughly 20,000 years ago, and then gave way to warming.
