How are the land area and the oceans affected during the ice age?
During a glaciation: Sea-level falls (world-wide - the phrase "rising sea-levels", in the plural, you hear bandied about is rather silly). Consequently more land is exposed - albeit that a lot of it is covered in ice, with the tundra and sub-arctic areas moving to lower latitudes. During a warm interglacial (as now): Sea-levels rise, drowning previously exposed areas, though less of the land is buried under ice and the tundra fringes retreat Pole-wards. There isn't a "the Ice Age". An ice-age, such as the present one, is a series of alternating cold and warm phases.
During an ice age earths sea level?
During a glaciation earth's sea level drops, because of the water evaporating from the oceans falling as snow on the land and not melting for thousands of years.
What would happen to the oceans if surface runoff and groundwater flow were reduced for example by the growth of ice sheets during an ice age?
The ocean would become smaller.
How might the continental shelf be affected if you had another ice age?
When there is another glaciation, water from the oceans will be locked up on land as ice. This will cause the sea levels to go down and more of the continental shelves will be exposed above sea level.
During the most recent ice age glaciers covered about what percent of the earth's land area?
30%

How have people affected the Desert of Maine?
Maine has no true deserts. It does have a small area of nearly barren silt exposed during the last ice age but it is not a true desert.
What area of the brain is affected in cerebral palsy?

What dropped during the last ice age allowing people to cross to the Americas?
The water level of the oceans, thus exposing a land bridge.
