  • @Less1leg2
    @Less1leg2 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    When you really think about it. The southern most part of the Ice Sheet was not far from northern Florida. If you consider Canada's tundra region moving southward to South Ontario. It gets pretty darn snowy during winter and cold. So Georgia, South Carolina, were the equivalent to Northern Ontario leading to the Arctic Region. It was cold -30*F in winter for many stretches. Typical winter of 20 to 35*F and summer stretches of 55*F to 80*F at its infrequent heat times.
    Turtles had to hibernate in winter months in mud banks.
    So I would say during the Ice Age, there must have been summer Melt Offs which would have caused torrents of flood waters spilling off the Ice Sheets causing destruction. But when the Cold cycles returned, massive freeze fronts and ground based fog thick as thick due to mixing warm air with Ice Sheet cold air. I could imagine as well, massive tornados due to conflicting cold air and hot Caribbean air pushing eastward past Texas. You have to appreciate the Ice Sheet being a massive wall of cold where hot air rising against a mile high of thick ice must give up its moisture just to clear over the top of the Ice Sheet.
    The southern regions would have been wet all time with frequent misty rains.

      I'm not sure about Central and South Florida but the rivers in the Panhandle are mostly sandstone and limestone, not much chert that I have ever found
      . You can find chert in Alabama pretty easily if you are into knapping, a good bit of it also has fossil in them.
