Article: The last glacial period of the current ice age ended about 10,000 years ago. Ice melt caused world sea levels to rise about 35 metres (115 ft) in the early part of the Holocene. In addition, many areas above about 40 degrees north latitude had been depressed by the weight of the Pleistocene glaciers and rose as much as 180 metres (591 ft) over the late Pleistocene and Holocene, and are still rising today. The sea level rise and temporary land depression allowed temporary marine incursions into areas that are now far from the sea. Holocene marine fossils are known from Vermont, Quebec, Ontario and Michigan. Other than higher latitude temporary marine incursions associated with glacial depression, Holocene fossils are found primarily in lakebed, floodplain and cave deposits. Holocene marine deposits along low-latitude coastlines are rare because the rise in sea levels during the period exceeds any likely upthrusting of non-glacial origin. Post-glacial rebound in Scandinavia resulted in the emergence of coastal areas around the Baltic Sea, including much of Finland. The region continues to rise, still causing weak earthquakes across Northern Europe. The equivalent event in North America was the rebound of Hudson Bay, as it shrank from its larger, immediate post-glacial Tyrrell Sea phase, to near its present boundaries.

Question: Glaciars from what period depressed the height of northern lands by 591 feet?
Ans: Pleistocene

Article: During World War II, Imperial Japan invaded most of the former western colonies. The Showa occupation regime committed violent actions against civilians such as the Manila massacre and the implementation of a system of forced labour, such as the one involving 4 to 10 million romusha in Indonesia. A later UN report stated that four million people died in Indonesia as a result of famine and forced labour during the Japanese occupation. The Allied powers who defeated Japan in the South-East Asian theatre of World War II then contended with nationalists to whom the occupation authorities had granted independence.

Question: What violent acts did the Showa regime commit?
Ans: Manila massacre and the implementation of a system of forced labour

Article: In China, the war is officially called the "War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea" (simplified Chinese: ; traditional Chinese: ; pinyin: Kangmeiyuanchao zhanzheng), although the term "Chaoxian (Korean) War" (simplified Chinese: ; traditional Chinese: ; pinyin: Chaoxian zhanzheng) is also used in unofficial contexts, along with the term "Korean Conflict" (simplified Chinese: ; traditional Chinese: ; pinyin: Han Zhan) more commonly used in regions such as Hong Kong and Macau.

Question: When is the term 'Chaoxian War' used as a name for the Korean War?
Ans: unofficial contexts

Article: The decline in the value of the U.S. dollar corresponds to price inflation, which is a rise in the general level of prices of goods and services in an economy over a period of time. A consumer price index (CPI) is a measure estimating the average price of consumer goods and services purchased by households. The United States Consumer Price Index, published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, is a measure estimating the average price of consumer goods and services in the United States. It reflects inflation as experienced by consumers in their day-to-day living expenses. A graph showing the U.S. CPI relative to 19821984 and the annual year-over-year change in CPI is shown at right.

Question: The rise in level of prices in an economy is referred to as what?
Ans:
price inflation
