Highlights of the Cenozoic:Geology
1. Continents move into their current configurations. (Western NA remains active.)
2. Tethys Sea closes with the Alpine/Himalayan Orogeny.
3. Minor sea level fluctuations4. Temperature peaks in the Eocene
and drops through the Pliocene/Pleistocene Ice Age.

Highlights of the Cenozoic:
Life1. Mammals and angiosperms
(including grasses) diversify and dominate.
2. Mammals return to the sea.3. Two minor mass extinctions -
Eocene and Pleistocene/Holocene.4. Humans appear in the Pliocene
and by the late Holocene become a “geologic force”.

The Final
Ice Age

What Causes Ice Ages?
1. Position of the Continents• Changes to Ocean Currents• Closer o Poles
2. Orogenies / Uplift of Land Surface• Changes in air circulation• Increased erosion
3. Changes in Greenhouse Gases
