Answer:

The statement that says that the Earth is presently in an 'interglacial period' is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • An interglacial period is characterized by 'warmer temperatures spanning the entire globe'.
  • This period lasts for thousands of years and only ends with the beginning of an 'ice age'.
  • The present interglacial period that we are in began around 12,000 years ago with the 'end of the Pleistocene age'.
  • It is estimated that 'an ice age' is due right after the ongoing interglacial period.
