there was plate tectonic movement
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.
During the Mississippian Period, major geologic events included the widespread deposition of carbonate rocks forming thick limestone layers, the development of large coral reefs, and the formation of coal deposits from plant materials in swampy environments. Additionally, tectonic activity led to the uplift of mountain ranges and the creation of rift basins.
The Devonian period ended with a series of extinctions, including the Hangenberg event, leading to a significant decline in biodiversity. Climate change, possibly triggered by glaciations and changes in sea levels, as well as anoxia (lack of oxygen in the oceans), are thought to have played major roles in causing these extinctions.
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.
The last 2 million years of geologic time is part of the Quaternary Period, which is characterized by major advances and retreats of continental ice sheets, as well as the evolution and dispersal of humans.
The existence and extinction of the dinosaurs.
Some of the major geologic events include ice ages, the formation of the great lakes, and the continents moving to where they are now.
During the Permian period, major geologic events included the assembly of the supercontinent Pangaea, significant climatic changes leading to glaciation and warming events, and massive volcanic activity resulting in the formation of the Siberian Traps. These events had significant impacts on biodiversity and led to the largest extinction event in Earth's history, known as the Permian-Triassic mass extinction.

Mainly the ice age. I have a project in which I have to make a PowerPoint presentation for one of the times and i chose quantenary and we are in the quantenary period right now

Additionally, tectonic activity led to the uplift of mountain ranges and the creation of rift basins.
During the Devonian period, the Earth experienced the diversification of early tetrapods (four-limbed vertebrates) that eventually led to the colonization of land. Additionally, there was a significant increase in plant diversity, with the evolution of trees and forests. The Devonian period also saw the formation of the Appalachian Mountains in North America as a result of tectonic activity and continental collisions.

Not much happened really except i think it was climate change and small dinos running around, the size of a chicken. (No im not kidding)
The Rhynie Chert in Scotland is a Devonian age deposit containing fossils of both Zosterophyllophytes and Trimerophytes, the two major lines of vascular plants.
they use major fossil records
The Carboniferous is a geologic period lasting from about 358.9 million to 298.9 million years ago. It was characterized by the widespread formation of coal deposits, giving rise to its name. The Carboniferous also saw the first appearance of terrestrial vertebrates and the diversification of early amphibians.
