The Holocene can be subdivided into five time intervals, or chronozones, based on climatic fluctuations: [16] [needs update?] Preboreal (10 ka–9 ka BP), Boreal (9 ka–8 ka BP), Atlantic (8 ka–5 ka BP), Subboreal (5 ka–2.5 ka BP) and; Subatlantic (2.5 ka BP–present).
25 paź 2024 · Holocene Epoch, younger of the two formally recognized epochs that constitute the Quaternary Period and the latest interval of geologic time, covering approximately the last 11,700 years of Earth’s history.
The Holocene is the name given to the last 11,700 years* of the Earth's history — the time since the end of the last major glacial epoch, or "ice age."
25 paź 2024 · It was a “milk-and-honey” period for early humans over much of the world, and in Europe it paved the way for the cultured races of the Bronze Age. Navigators started using the seaways to trade between the eastern Mediterranean, the British Isles , and the Baltic.
Holocene Epoch, formerly Recent Epoch, Latest interval of the Earth’s geologic history, dating from about 11,700 years ago to the present. The younger of the two epochs that constitute the Quaternary Period, the Holocene follows the last glacial stage of the Pleistocene Epoch.
Holocene comprises the last ∼ 11000 years and is the shortest epoch in the history of our planet. This time span is important in many aspects, particularly in terms of man's development and subsequent interventions and modifications of the land and the natural resources.
The Holocene is the fourth and last epoch of the Neogene period (or second epoch of the Quaternary sub-era) of the Cenozoic era. The Holocene was preceded by the Pleistocene epoch, which began about 1.8 million years ago (mya) and ended at a time corresponding with the end of the Paleolithic age used in archeology.
