Then, in 1993, attention shifted to the last warm interglacial period before this one, which lasted from about 130, 000 to 120, 000 years ago.
42.
With the end of the interglacial period and the onset of cooler climates, these species then retreated to their refuges again or simply died out.
43.
Sea levels rise and fall as the ice sheets advance and retreat, and raised beaches now mark the interglacial periods when sea levels were higher.
44.
The CO 2 feedback effect is believed to be part of the transition between glacial and interglacial periods, with orbital forcing providing the initial trigger.
45.
Reports in that year on studies of Greenland ice cores suggested that the last interglacial period had experienced abrupt and previously unexpected swings of global temperature.
46.
These changes have been reflected by constantly shifting vegetation, for example forest communities dominating most areas in interglacial periods, and herbaceous communities dominating during glacial periods.
47.
Tree species spread outward from refugia during interglacial periods, but in varied patterns, with different trees dominating in different periods ( Taberlet and Chedadi 2002 ).
48.
The lack of lahar ( volcanic mudflow ) or avalanche deposits associated with the original cone and the Main Cone Lavas indicates that these interglacial period.
49.
Speculations state that evidences might have been buried underneath the silt and sediments of Manila bay and covered by the rising water during the last interglacial period.
50.
Interglacial periods, particularly the parts of them punctuated by rapid changes in climate, interest climatologists because of the light they may shed on the present-day interglacial period.
