The Pleistocene (/ ˈ p l aɪ s t ə ˌ s iː n,-s t oʊ-/ PLY-stə-seen, -stoh-; [5] [6] often referred to colloquially as the Ice Age) is the geological epoch that lasted from c. 2.58 million to 11,700 years ago, spanning the Earth's most recent period of repeated glaciations.
Pleistocene Epoch, earlier and major of the two epochs of the Quaternary Period of Earth’s history, an epoch during which a succession of glacial and interglacial climatic cycles occurred. It ended 11,700 years ago. It was preceded by the Pliocene Epoch and followed by the Holocene Epoch.
Plejstocen (stgr. πλεῖστος 'większość' + καινός 'nowy') w sensie geochronologicznym: starsza epoka czwartorzędu, trwająca ponad 2,5 miliona lat (od 2,58 mln do 11,7 tys. lat b2k). Plejstocen jest młodszy od pliocenu, a starszy od holocenu. Dzieli się na cztery wieki: gelas, kalabr (wczesny plejstocen), chiban (środkowy ...
Pleistocene Epoch, Earlier and longer of the two epochs that constitute the Quaternary Period. The Pleistocene began c. 2.6 million years ago and ended c. 11,700 years ago. It was preceded by the Pliocene Epoch of the Neogene Period and followed by the Holocene Epoch.
The best-known are those that occurred from the time of the last interglaciation, about 125,000 years ago, to the present. The growth of large ice sheets, ice caps, and long valley glaciers was among the most significant events of the Pleistocene. During times of extensive glaciation, more than 45 million square km.
The Pleistocene is the third epoch of the Neogene period or the sixth epoch of the Cenozoic era. The Pleistocene follows the Pliocene epoch and is followed by the Holocene epoch. The end of the Pleistocene corresponds with the end of the Paleolithic age used in archeology.
The Pleistocene was a geological epoch that lasted from about 2.6 million to around 11,700 years ago, characterized by repeated glacial cycles and significant climate changes. This period played a crucial role in shaping the environment and biodiversity of Earth, impacting human migration patterns and the eventual populating of the Americas.
