-
A.
British–Irish Ice Sheet
The British–Irish Ice Sheet was a massive glacial ice sheet that covered most of Great Britain and Ireland during the last Ice Age, shaping much of the region’s present-day landscape.
-
B.
Wisconsin glaciation
The Wisconsin glaciation was the last major advance of continental ice sheets in North America during the Pleistocene, profoundly reshaping the continent’s landscapes and drainage systems.
-
C.
Cenozoic glaciations
Cenozoic glaciations are a series of major ice age cycles during the Cenozoic Era that saw extensive growth and retreat of continental ice sheets, profoundly shaping Earth’s climate and landscapes.
-
D.
Holocene catastrophic flooding of the Black Sea
The Holocene catastrophic flooding of the Black Sea is a hypothesized prehistoric deluge in which Mediterranean waters are thought to have rapidly inundated the Black Sea basin, potentially inspiring ancient flood myths.
-
E.
Pennine watershed
The Pennine watershed is the major upland drainage divide running along the Pennine hills of northern England, separating river systems that flow west to the Irish Sea from those that flow east to the North Sea.
