Question

1. antarctica moved to the south pole region. the continent then began to grow a permanent ice cap in the oligocene. the climate warmed in the early miocene. it cooled again in the late miocene and pliocene. which of the following began to form from these events?

○ glaciers
○ ice caps
○ ocean currents
○ new mountain ranges

Explanation:

The question describes Antarctica moving to the south pole, forming a permanent ice cap in the Oligocene, and subsequent climate fluctuations. Glaciers are large ice masses that form from long-term snow accumulation and compaction, which aligns with the cooling events and ice cap growth mentioned. Ice caps are already stated as forming, so they are not the result of the events. Ocean currents and mountain ranges are not directly linked to the described glaciation processes.

Answer:

glaciers
