North America
What are the names of the two glaciers that covered much of North America during the Pleistocene?
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?
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.

Miseducation focuses equally on Lauryn Hill’s life (especially the bir… |

Titanic [VHS] $3.98 When the theatrical release of James Cameron’s Titanic was delayed from July to December of 1997, media pundits speculated that Cameron’s $200 million disaster epic would cause the director’s downfall, signal the end of the blockbuster era, and sink Paramount Studios as quickly as the ill-fated luxury liner had sunk on that fateful night of April 14, 1912.
