Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During the Little Ice Age, which lasted from the 16th to the 19th century, alpine glaciers grew in size and advanced due to the cooler global temperatures. Continental glaciers did not cover large portions of North America during this time. The climatic optimum occurred prior to the Little Ice Age, and sea level lowering by 280 ft is not accurate for this time period.
