What discovery convinced geoscientist that milankovitchs astronomical theory explained the major climate flucatuations of the pleistocene?
The discovery of a strong correlation between variations in Earth's orbit and the timing of glacial and interglacial periods during the Pleistocene provided convincing evidence for Milankovitch's astronomical theory. This correlation showed that changes in the Earth's orbital parameters could influence the amount and distribution of solar radiation reaching Earth, leading to major climate fluctuations.
What else can I help you with?
Which of the following is NOT an epoch in the Quaternary period A Paleocene B Pleistocene C Pliocene D none of the above?
Every epoch apart from the Pleistocene and Holocene.
Which continents was not covered by ice during the pleistocene ice age?
Australia was one continent not covered by ice during the Pleistocene Ice Age. Africa is another continent not covered during this time.
How would you describe the Pleistocene?
The Pleistocene epoch, lasting from about 2.6 million to 11,700 years ago, was characterized by repeated glaciations and interglacial periods. During this time, large mammals such as mammoths and saber-toothed cats roamed the Earth. It was also a period of significant human evolution and migration.
What type of herbivore lived during the Pleistocene epoch?
The woolly mammoth, ground sloths, and megafauna such as mastodons and giant beavers were some of the herbivores that lived during the Pleistocene epoch.
Is Pleistocene epoch is the only glacial period for which evidence exists?
No, the Pleistocene epoch is not the only glacial period for which evidence exists. Earth has experienced multiple glacial periods throughout its history, with the Pleistocene being the most recent and best-documented glacial period. Other major glacial periods include the Huronian glaciation and the Snowball Earth episodes.
At what era did the horse disappear from the American continent Pleistocene Owlocene Pogocene?
pleistocene
What is the pleistocene overkill?
The Pleistocene theory argues that hunter-gatherers caused the extinction of many species after the end of the last ice age.
Could a piece of dinosaur bone be found in pleistocene sediment?
Yes. Birds are classified as dinosaurs and they were certainly around in the Pleistocene. Even aside from that, it is still possible as a dinosaur fossil could be weathered out of Mesozoic rock and then re-buried in Pleistocene sediment.
What is the name of the prehistoric ice age?
Pleistocene
The term Ice Ages refers to the?
Pleistocene.
What has the author E Tchernov written?
E. Tchernov has written: 'Pleistocene of the Central Jordan Valley (The Pleistocene of the central Jordan Valley, the excavations at Ubeidiya)'

When is the beginning of the Pleistocene interval in Ma?
1.8 Ma
What era did the horse disappear from the American continent?
Pleistocene
Did dinosaurs live in the Pleistocene period?
Most paleontologists count birds as dinosaurs, so in that sense, yes as there were Pleistocene birds. Other than birds, no. All non-avian dinosaurs died out at the end of the Cretaceous period more than 60 million years before the beginning of the Pleistocene.
