Well, during the beginning, it started out fairly cool, then it became quite warm! It then went from hot to cold when the ice age kicked in!

Did the K-T extinction occur before or during the Tertiary period?
The Tertiary Period (65.5 to 2.588Ma) is the informal name for the geological period that followed the K-T extinction event. So the K-T event happened before the Tertiary. In fact "K-T" is actually short for Cretaceous-Tertiary as it marked the end of the Cretaceous and the start of the Tertiary.The lower tertiary is more formally known as the Paleogene Period(65.5 - 23.03 Ma) and the upper Tertiary is more formally known as the Neogene Period(23.03 - 2.588Ma).

Did humans live during the tertiary period?
The Tertiary period happened after the extinction that took place during the Cretaceous period, so mammals saw a great diversification, the most notable of which was the movement from eating from trees to eating grass.

What was the geography of the Tertiary period?
Earth's geography changed dramatically between the beginning and the end of the Tertiary. I could give you a long winded description, but I think you would prefer maps. Under "Related Links" there will be a map for the early Tertiary (called the Paleogene), and one for the later Tertiary (Neogene). P.S. The Tertiary began 65.5 million years ago and ended 2.6 million years ago.
