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).
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.
What type of rocks existed during the tertiary period?
During the Tertiary period, a variety of rocks were formed, including sandstone, shale, limestone, and volcanic rocks such as basalt and andesite. The Tertiary period was characterized by changes in climate and tectonic activity, leading to the formation of diverse rock types in different environments.
What was the second epoch of the Tertiary period of the Cenozoic Era.?

When did the tertiary period start and end?

Why would people to go to the tertiary period?
The "tertiary period" is not a place you can go to. It is a time period - in the remote past of Earth. Since it is in the past, you can't go there.

How many epochs in the Tertiary period?
The Tertiary Period (including the Pliocene, Miocene, Oligocene, Eocene, and Paleocene Epochs) lasted from about 65 million years ago to 1.8 million years ago. It is part of the Cenozoic Era, along with the Quarternary Period.
What are facts about Tertiary Consumers?
Tertiary consumers feed on secondary consumers and are the top predators in a food chain. This means they have no predators that eat them. An example of a tertiary consumer is the great white shark.
