Around 10,000 years ago, as the last Ice Age drew to a close, the drifting of the continent of North America, and spreading in the Atlantic Ocean, may have temporarily sped up—with a little help ...

A typical ice age lasting 100,000 years can be characterised into periods of advancing and retreating ice -- the ice grows for 80,000 years, but it only takes 20,000 years for that ice to melt.
