When and What was the Ice Age?

-Lasted from about 2 million to 10,000 years ago
-Was an era of ongoing worldwide glaciations
-Ice ages have occurred periodically throughout the history of the Earth. The Pleistocene is the most recent of these ice ages

How did the Ice Age benefit Utah?
-Some glaciers are still found at high elevations and many glacial lakes were formed from this Ice Age
-Canyons and basins were created as the glaciers moved along the mountain
-When the glaciers melted, they filled basins with water. These reservoirs provide Utah with important water sources
