The Cenozoic period describes the beginning of the evolution of modern life on Earth. This era started around 65 million years ago after the Cretaceous period. The Cretaceous extinction events gave way to the evolution of the Cenozoic era. The extinction event destroyed all dinosaur life. This ev...

First of all, volcanoes are the reason Iceland exists.The area where volcanic activity has created the island over 18 million years rests on a constructive plate boundary called the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, which is part of one of the world's longest mountain ranges (albeit underwater) at nearly ...
Earth’s climate has evolved in response to tectonic and orbital forcing over the Cenozoic era, the past 66 million years (Myr). Overall, atmospheric CO2concentrations have decreased and global climate has cooled8. Against this background of Cenozoic cooling, there were two distinct periods of pr...
Origins of fungus farming corresponded mainly with two periods of global warming in the Cenozoic era, which were characterised by broadly distributed tropical forests. Hence, it seems likely that warm climates and expanding tropical angiosperm forests played critical roles in the successful radiation of...
The Cenozoic marks the transition to a continental environment starting with thin layers of marsh/lake carbonates of middle Eocene age and going on with Oligocenic alluvial deposits and conoid conglomerates. Lower Miocene rocks are scarce, being limited to few small outcrops of reef limestone alterna...
