| Geologically young, the Rockies exhibit faulting, glaciation, and volcanism, resulting in rugged, spectacularly scenic terrain. |
| The authors hypothesized their common origin from an Atlantic refugium after the last glaciation. |
| Silt and varved clay, probably deposited during the last stages of Pleistocene glaciation, cover the entire floor. |
| There seems to be no evidence of low palaeolatitude glaciation in the three Phanerozoic glacial episodes. |
| In this regard the knowledge of contemporary glaciation dynamics and prognosis of snowiness in the region become very important. |
| The Upper Palaeolithic occupies the second half of the last glaciation, ending 10,000 years ago. |
