What happend before the quaternary period that impacted life in the quaternary period?
The Pleistocene epoch, part of the quaternary period, was influenced by the preceding Pliocene epoch. The Pliocene saw the formation of the Isthmus of Panama, connecting North and South America, which affected ocean currents, climate patterns, and species migrations during the Quaternary period. Additionally, tectonic movements and mountain-building events in the late Cenozoic era created new habitats and influenced evolutionary processes that further impacted life in the Quaternary period.
What period comes after the quaternary period?
The Quaternary is the most recent geological time period, which started 1.67 to 2.4 million years ago depending on the area studied. The Quaternary is part of the Cenozoic ("new life") Era, along with the Tertiary Period. The Quaternary Period includes recent time (the last 11,000 years ago, since the last ice age) which is called the Holocene and the Pleistocene Epoch. There is currently much debate as to how long the Quaternary period is. There are considerations into re-classifying the Quaternary as it is "technically" too short to be considered a geological age. But this is a matter of much conjecture at the moment.
What was the name of the period after dinosaurs?
After the dinosaurs came the Quaternary period. In this period there was and ice age (the one you think about when you hear the word ice age) and mammals became the dominant life forms on earth. Mammoths, Giant Sloths, and Sabertoothed tigers lived during this period.

Why did the Quaternary Period end?
Quaternary PeriodIt hasn't, yet. Geologic time was originally divided into four parts, Primary, Secondary, Tertiary, and Quaternary, with the Quaternary being the current time of life. Eventually it was realized that the Primary and Secondary were much more distinctly different than the Tertiary and Quaternary, so the were re-named the Paleozoic (old life) and Mesozoic (middle life) eras, while the Tertiary and Quaternary were classified periods within the Cenozoic (recent life) era. The Tertiary contains the first five epochs, while the Quaternary contains the last two.Some consider the division between Tertiary and Quaternary to be obsolete, and prefer to divide the Cenozoic into the Palaeogene (first three epochs) and Neogene (latest four epochs).AnswerYou are currently living in the Qaternary period. Is has not ended.
What would life be like if you lived in the quaternary period?
You're living in it right now! The Quaternery Period started 2,000,000 years ago and will end when humans become extinct.
What are some dominant organisms that lived in the tertiary period?
animals life ish
What was the dominant animal of the Eocene Epoch?
The dominant animal of the Eocene Epoch was the early mammals, which included large herbivorous mammals like the brontotheres and early primates. This period marked a significant diversification and expansion of mammalian species in response to the changing environment.
What geological time period did human life occur in?
Human life has occurred in the Quaternary Period, which started around 2.6 million years ago and continues to the present day. The Quaternary is the most recent period in Earth's history and is characterized by the presence of modern humans (Homo sapiens) and significant glaciation events.
