Initial percentage of carbon 14 = 100%

Final percentage = ?

Time passed = 17.1 * 1000 years = 17100 years

Half life of carbon 14 = 5,730 years.

So how many Half lives are in 17100 years?

Number of Half lives = Time passed /  Half life = 3.18 ≈ 3

First Half life;

100% --> 50%

Second Half life;

50% --> 25%

Third Half life ;

25% --> 12.5%

Explain what is meant by Pleistocene ice age
makkiz [27]

By Pleistocene ice age is meant the glacial periods that appeared in the Pleistocene. The Pleistocene is the first epoch of the Quaternary. It is an epoch when there was a so called ''ice age'' on the Earth, or rather a glacial period. During this ice age the planet had much lower temperatures on a global scale. The climate was also much drier. Lot of ocean water was frozen in the ice sheets that were stretching deep into the North American and Eurasian continents, which resulted in much lower sea levels that today as well. The places further north than 40 degrees of latitude were almost exclusively covered with ice, so life was almost impossible apart from some coastline places.
