Which of the following continents was not covered by ice during the pleistocene ice age?
a. europe
b. asia
c. australia
d. north america

The correct answer is C. Australia

Explanation:

The Pleistocene age also called ice age was a geological age of repeated glaciation that began 2.588.000 years ago and ended 11.700 years ago. During this age, as a result of glacial cycles 30% of the surface was covered with ice and the continents we know today were in the same location they are now, due to this most of the ice that covered the Earth's surface was located in the north of the continents including North America, and Eurasia (Europe and Asia). Considering Australia was located at the south it is probable it was not covered by ice during this geological era while other options such as Europ, Asia, and North America were significantly affected by the glacial cycles. Thus, Australia was not covered by ice during the Pleistocene.
