Answer 2

c. Ice age

Step-by-step explanation:

• An ice age is a long period in the history of the earth that causes a reduction in the global temperatures of the surface of the earth that results in the expansion of landmasses and polar ice sheets and valley glaciers. It marks the longest climatic change response from the earth.

• Usually associated with the greenhouse periods. As the current earth is in a quaternary period where there are no glaciers on the planet that were prevalent for 50,000 years due to the glacial cycles of glacial and the interglacial periods.

• Thus these glacial period marks the rotational motion of the plates and the upliftment of the landmasses.
