His studies of ice-polished rocks in his Alpine homeland, far outside the range of present-day glaciers, led Louis Agassiz in 1837 to propose the concept of an age in which great ice sheets had existed in now currently temperate areas.
in which great ice sheets had existed in now currently temperate areas
in which great ice sheets existed in what are now temperate areas
when great ice sheets existed where there were areas now temperate
when great ice sheets had existed in current temperate areas
when great ice sheets existed in areas now that are temperate
我觉得可能E错在使用了定语从句,限定性定语从句强调“有的”和“没有的”对比,这句话意思就变成了,冰只能在temperate的地区存在(那么不temperate的地区不能存在)但是原句并没有这个意思。而且个人认为,in which强调了“冰存在”这个事情发生的时间(in an age),而when仅仅是说这个时间怎么样怎么样。
