Question 5 • TX-Environmental Systems

Which of the following is not true concerning the Pleistocene ice age?

Answer
A
Earth began warming out of the ice age 18,000 years ago.
B
Glaciers stopped advancing 15,000 years ago.
C
Sea levels during the ice age were higher than today.
D
Forests and grasslands became more common after the ice age.

Explanation

During the Pleistocene ice age, large amounts of water were locked up in glaciers and ice sheets, so sea levels were lower than they are today. Therefore, the statement that sea levels were higher is not true. The other statements describe warming, the retreat of glaciers, and the spread of forests and grasslands after the ice age.
