Question

multiple - choice question
which of the following statements is true about glaciation and interglacial periods?
glaciation is when temperatures are colder and sea levels drop while interglacial periods are when temperatures are warmer and sea levels rise.
glaciation is when temperatures are warmer and sea levels rise while interglacial periods are when temperatures are colder and sea levels drop.

Explanation:

During glaciation, large - scale ice sheets form due to colder temperatures, causing water to be locked up in ice and sea levels to drop. In interglacial periods, warmer temperatures cause the ice to melt, increasing sea levels.

Answer:

Glaciation is when temperatures are colder and sea levels drop while interglacial periods are when temperatures are warmer and sea levels rise.
