Final answer:

Glacial periods have low temperatures and sea levels, while interglacial periods have high temperatures and sea levels, linked to CO₂ concentrations.


Explanation:

Glacial Period:

  1. Low global temperature
  2. Low sea level
  3. Low levels of carbon dioxide in Earth's atmosphere

Interglacial Period:

  1. High sea level
  2. High global temperature
  3. High levels of carbon dioxide in Earth's atmosphere

The difference in global average temperature during these periods is about 4°C to 5°C, impacting climate drastically. Glacial periods are associated with low temperatures, low sea levels, and low CO₂ concentrations, while interglacial periods experience the opposite.
