Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Holocene Maximum occurred approximately 6,000 years ago and is known for being the period of the warmest temperatures since the last ice age. The other options, such as recent human-induced global warming or the Little Ice Age, do not have the same level of warmth as the Holocene Maximum. The Younger Dryas was actually a period of colder temperatures and marked the end of the last ice age.
