2. False

When was the last Ice Age?

1. One million years ago
2. 100.000 years ago
3. 15.000 years ago
4. 5.000 years ago

What happened to the sea level after the ice age?

1. Drop in sea level (=lower)
2. Rise in sea level (=higher)
3. Remained the same

Why could people walk from France to the UK during the ice ages?

1. People could walk over the ice
2. All the water from the sea was in the glaciers
3. All the water from the sea disappeared
4. It didn't rain during the ice ages

As the glacier moves, rocks scrape over the glacier bed ...

1. This is erosion, specifically abrasion
2. This is erosion, specifically plucking
3. This is erosion, specifically freeze-thaw weathering
4. This is transportation, specifically deposition

The glacier melts, the rocks in the glacier are left behind, this is part of:

1. Erosion
2. Transportation
3. Deposition

The mixture of rocks, stones, sand and clay (left behind when glacier melts) is called:

1. Freeze-thaw weathering
2. Abrasion
3. Glacial till
4. Transportation

What do we call this:
