What r your theories about the ice age? need to kno i am not crazy! LOL?

Question

In my TX colage we are studying about the ice age and my theory is that the ice age stopped right where the pine barrens are in New Egypt. I think that because in the pine barrens there is very sandy soil. So I think the glacier game off the ocean and pushed all of the sand to the pine barrens and then it stopped/melted. Please tell me what you think!

THANKS

Answer 1

glaciers don't come off the ocean they come from the north....the reason there is that type of substrate is probably because you are on a part of the state that at some point in history was covered by water.....just like the continental slope of any shore line chances are as the sea rises and falls it was covering that area at one time....this would deposit sand.....
