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.
The Quaternary Period covers the span of time from over one and a half million years ago to the present day. Although this may seem like an extraordinary length of time, it is actually a very short period in the context of the age of Gaia. This period saw the current ice age, the rise of man, and the extinction of most of the mammalian megafauna
The Quaternary Period had snow covering over 30 percent of the earth and modern plants and oceans
yes
The first epoch of the Quaternary Period is the Pleistocene epoch.
We are in the Quaternary period now (Holocene Epoch). So it hasn't ended yet.
That's When The Human race appeared
Phanerozoic.
Since that period is ' to the present, ' yes.
The Neogene Period is not a part of the Quaternary Period. The Quaternary Period occurred right after the Neogene Period. The Neogene is divided into two, Miocene and the Pliocene epochs.
The first epoch of the Quaternary Period is the Pleistocene epoch.
Currently we are in the Quaternary period.
We are in the Quaternary period now (Holocene Epoch). So it hasn't ended yet.
That's When The Human race appeared
Yes. The Quaternary Period is part of the late Cenozoic.
Currently we are in the Quaternary period.
We are living in the Holocene Epoch of the Quaternary Period in the Cenozoic Era of geologic time.
what will you might see in the quaternary period
the period is teritary the period after dinosaurs
It was cold in the Quaternary time period
Humans currently live in the Holocene stage. This is part of the Quaternary period, and the Quaternary is a part of the Cenozoic era. The Quaternary began 2.588 million years ago.
