The last glacial period , popularly known as the Ice Age , was the most recent glacial period , which occurred from c. 110,000 -- c. 11,700 years ago . This most recent glacial period is part of a larger pattern of glacial and interglacial periods known as the Quaternary glaciation ( c. 2,588,000 years ago to present ) . From this point of view , scientists consider this `` ice age '' to be merely the latest glaciation event in a much larger ice age , one that dates back over two million years and is still ongoing .

the cornea and lensThe retina is the third and inner coat of the eye which is a light - sensitive layer of tissue . The optics of the eye create an image of the visual world on the retina ( through the cornea and lens ) , which serves much the same function as the film in a camera . Light striking the retina initiates a cascade of chemical and electrical events that ultimately trigger nerve impulses . These are sent to various visual centres of the brain through the fibres of the optic nerve . Neural retina typically refers to three layers of neural cells ( photo receptor cells , bipolar cells , and ganglion cells ) within the retina , while the entire retina refers to these three layers plus a layer of pigmented epithelial cells .

thorium - 234Alpha decay or α - decay is a type of radioactive decay in which an atomic nucleus emits an alpha particle ( helium nucleus ) and thereby transforms or ' decays ' into a different atomic nucleus , with a mass number that is reduced by four and an atomic number that is reduced by two . An alpha particle is identical to the nucleus of a helium - 4 atom , which consists of two protons and two neutrons . It has a charge of 6981320435297400000 ♠ + 2 e and a mass of 7000400000000000000 ♠ 4 u . For example , uranium - 238 decays to form thorium - 234 . Alpha particles have a charge 6981320435297400000 ♠ + 2 e , but as a nuclear equation describes a nuclear reaction without considering the electrons -- a convention that does not imply that the nuclei necessarily occur in neutral atoms -- the charge is not usually shown .
