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.
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 lifeforms were flourished in the Quaternary period?
The plant life in the quaternary period is basically the exact same plants we have now. Some plants might have changed because of climate change and time but, they are still similar. Contrary to what some people say, the quaternary period is not just the time of the ice age. The quaternary period is the entire time since homosapiens first appeared. Plants in the ice age were hardy and survived harsh enviroments. However, there were still some areas not as cold where plants thrived.
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.
