'True polar wander' may have caused ice age
https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/11/181119160239.htm
Geophysicists from the University of Rice have gathered evidence from the pacific ocean shows that the last ice age might have been cause by changes deep under the earth. from there study they have found that earth had changed its spin axis. Due to the spin axis changing it changed the way the tectonic plates move about. since the axis changed and the tectonic plates moved around the continents began to shift which changed the earths magnetic poles and that made the ice age begin.
In my opinion this extremely important to know and understand because it can help possibly predict when the next ice age will begin. It not a set in stone and it is only a prediction but from the article it say that the shift was directly before ice age which can help scientist predict the next possible one
