Northern Hemisphere ice sheets

Target entity: Northern Hemisphere ice sheets
Context triple: [Quaternary period, associatedWith, Northern Hemisphere ice sheets]

• A. Laurentide Ice Sheet in North America
  The Laurentide Ice Sheet in North America was a massive continental glacier that covered much of Canada and parts of the northern United States during the last Ice Age, profoundly shaping the region’s landscapes and climate.
• B. Fennoscandian Ice Sheet
  The Fennoscandian Ice Sheet was a massive Pleistocene ice sheet that repeatedly covered much of northern Europe, including Scandinavia, Finland, and parts of northern Germany and western Russia.
• C. 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.
• D. Wisconsin glaciation
  The Wisconsin glaciation was the last major advance of continental ice sheets in North America during the Pleistocene, profoundly reshaping the continent’s landscapes and drainage systems.
• E. Arctic region
  The Arctic region is the Earth's northernmost polar area, characterized by extreme cold, sea ice, tundra landscapes, and unique ecosystems adapted to long periods of darkness and light.
• F. None of above. chosen
• G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
