VIII. Read the text.
Glaciers have advanced and retreated at least five times during the past 2 million years. In a relatively short time – perhaps only a few thousand years – the Earth’s climate cooled by a few degrees. As winter snow failed to melt in summer, the polar ice caps grew and spread into lower latitudes. At the same time, glaciers formed near the summits of high mountains, even near the equator. They flowed down mountain valleys into nearby lowlands. When the glaciers reached their maximum size 18.000 years ago, they covered one third of the Earth’s continents. About 15.000 years ago, Earth’s climate warmed again and the glaciers melted rapidly. Although 18.000 years is a long time when compared with a single human lifetime, it is a blink of an eye in geological time. In fact, humans lived through the most recent glaciation. In southwestern France and northern Spain humans developed sophisticated spearheads and carved body ornaments between 40.000 and 30.000 years ago. People first began experimenting with agriculture about 10.000 years ago.
Are the following statements true or false?
During the past 2 million years glaciers have not moved.
In a relatively short time the Earth’s climate has changed greatly.
About 15.000 years ago, glaciers melted rapidly, because Earth’s climate warmed.
