Discussion
Which one of the following arrangements of glacial periods of Pleistocene Ice Age is in a correct chronological order ?
Answer: D
The Pleistocene glacial periods of the Alps run Gunz, Mindel, Riss and Wurm, from oldest to youngest. Penck and Bruckner named them after Alpine rivers, with warmer interglacial spells between the four advances.
Every other option puts Wurm, the last glaciation, earlier than Gunz or Mindel, or puts Riss before Mindel. Since Riss followed Mindel and Wurm came last, only the order Gunz, Mindel, Riss, Wurm is correct.
