1 T or F: The Ice Age remained an hypothesis during Agassizs lifetime.
2 T or F: Proglacial lakes are fed directly by the meltwater of glaciers.
3 T or F: Rock flour accumulates as varved clays.
4 T or F: De Geer studied the retreat of the Ice Age ice sheet in North

1 T or F: For 20 years De Geers varve counting method to know of the retreat
of the ice sheet in America at the end of the Ice Age seemed to be wrong.
2 T or F: Varved chronology is central to arguments for the Ice Age in Flint's Glacial
and Quaternary Geology, 1957, 1971.
3 T or F: AMS has reestablished the validity of varve chronology.
