Target entity: Pleistocene glaciation
Context triple: [Lake Missoula basin, formedBy, Pleistocene glaciation]
  • A. Cenozoic glaciations
    Cenozoic glaciations are a series of major ice age cycles during the Cenozoic Era that saw extensive growth and retreat of continental ice sheets, profoundly shaping Earth’s climate and landscapes.
  • B. Saalian glaciation
    The Saalian glaciation was a major Middle Pleistocene ice age in northern Europe, during which extensive ice sheets covered large parts of the continent.
  • C. Last Glacial Period
    The Last Glacial Period was the most recent major ice age, spanning roughly 115,000 to 11,700 years ago, during which large ice sheets covered vast areas of North America, Europe, and Asia and global climates were significantly colder and drier than today.
  • D. Kaigas glaciation
    The Kaigas glaciation was an early Neoproterozoic ice age event in Earth's history, preceding the more extensive Sturtian glaciation and representing one of the planet's significant pre-Cryogenian glacial episodes.
  • E. Last Glacial Maximum
    The Last Glacial Maximum was the most recent period in Earth’s history when ice sheets reached their greatest extent, dramatically lowering sea levels and reshaping global climates and ecosystems.
  • F. None of above. chosen
  • G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
