Slight shifts caused frequent ice ages. Polar ice advanced and retreated each time, carving and moulding the land. A pattern of the Ice Ages emerged, but by the last Ice Age, the ice began to melt and the sea levels rose rapidly. Many ice land bridges were formed between continents.
There are not names for the major geologic events, but here are the names of some things created by the Ice Age shifts:
Beringia/Bering Land Bridge (between Asia and North America)
Doggerland (landmass connecting Great Britain to Europe)
Bering Straight Crossing (between Russia and Alaska)

Which is not a major period of the geologic time scale?
Cenozoic is not a major period of the geologic time scale. The scale is broken down into eras. Cenozoic, Mesozoic and Paleozoic are all part of the Phanerozic era.
What were the major geologic events of devonian period?
there was plate tectonic movement
What were the major geologic events in Jurassic time period?
The existence and extinction of the dinosaurs.
What were the major geologic events of the mississippian time period?
mississipian period?
What marks the end of a geologic period?
Each era on the scale is separated from the next by a major event or change. Different spans of time on the time scale are usually delimited by major geological or paleontological events, such as mass extinctions.
What ended the Jurassic period?
The end of the Silurian period and the beginning of the Devonian period was not defined by an extinction event, but by the distinctive rock formations of the period. As a result the end of the Silurian period is uncertain by +/- 2.8 million years.
What were major geological events of the quaternary period?
Some of the major geologic events include ice ages, the formation of the great lakes, and the continents moving to where they are now.
What geologic event is most likely to occur at a divergent boundary?
The main event that occurs at a divergent boundary is major dick sucking and also little events like you have a small pinner.
