Trivia: What environmental factor began the decline of the woolly mammoth?
Warming climate
Earthquake
Volcanic eruption
Meteor strike
The correct answer is Warming climate
So why is this answer correct? : Only 4,000 years ago, these ancient beasts walked the earth. They were widespread, living on every continent except South America and Australia. The hairy beasts started dying out roughly 10,000 years ago, as the climate began to warm toward the end of the last ice age.
