📖 題組：
A glacier is a large accumulation of crystalline ice, snow, rock, and often liquid water that originates on land and moves downslope under the influence of gravity. Over multiple decades, this continuing accumulation of snow results _1_ the presence of a large mass of snow for the glacier process to begin. Twenty thousand years ago, the Earth was held by probing fingers of ice that drew power from freezing places in the north and crept southwestward to _2_ forests, fields, and mountains. _3_ decreased rapidly and land surfaces in many parts of the world were depressed by the weight of the pushing ice. At the same time, so much water was drawn from the oceans to form these glaciers that sea levels around the world _4_ by three hundred and fifty feet, and large areas of the continental shelf became dry land. This period of the Earth’s history has come to be called the Ice Age. About eleven million square miles of land were covered with ice. The Ice Age _5_ about fourteen thousand years ago when the ice sheets began to cease. It took about seven thousand years for the ice to retreat to its present level.

根據全文對於冰河時期 ($Ice Age$) 形成過程的描述，請運用語境邏輯思考：在環境變遷的因果脈絡中，哪一種物理量或氣候變數的急遽下降 ($decreased rapidly$)，才是促使地表大量水體凝結成冰、並導致後續海平面大幅下降的核心科學前提？
