The 'wholly recent' geological period that spans the past 11,000 years and is characterized by an unusually warm and stable climate.
The time period from 10,000 years ago to the present; also, the rocks and deposits of that age.
The most recent epoch of the Quaternary period, covering approximately the last 10,000 years.
The period of time since the last glaciation, about 10,000 years ago. We are still in the Holocene today.
about the last 11,000 years
A geologic epoch extending from the present back about 10,000 years.
A geologic time designation for the last 10,000 years of Earth history.
The last 10,000 years of earth's history, corresponding to the time since the final retreat of the last great ice sheets. The Holocene has been characterised by relatively warm temperatures.
the current epoch of the Quaternary Period of the Cenozoic Era which began about 10,000 years ago; another name for Holocene is Recent
geologic epoch extending from the last 10,000 years to present
The current part of geologic time. The Holocene epoch began ~12,000 years ago, at the end of the Pleistocene epoch.
The name given to the division of geologic time spanning approximately the past 10,000 years.
A term used to describe rocks that have formed or faults which have occurred 10,000 years or less before the present day. Faults of this age are commonly considered active, based on the observation of historical activity on faults of this age in other places.
the second and most recent epoch of the Quaternary era, which began 10,000 years ago, and in which we are now living; from Greek holo 'wholly' + kainos 'recent'.
The current geological time period that started about 10,000 years ago.
An epoch of the Quaternary period, spanning the time from the end of the Pleistocene (8,000 years ago) to the present. It is named after the Greek words "holos" (entire) and "ceno" (new).
An epoch of the Quaternary Period beginning 10,000 years ago and continuing today. more details...
The geological period of time (epoch) from about 11,000 years ago to the present, following the Ice Age (Pleistocene epoch).
Present geological epoch which commenced 10 000 years ago.
The most recent geological epoch, usually taken as the last 10,000 years or so.
The most recent geological epoch, lasting from 8000 Ya - present. Also the latest epoch in the Quaternary period.
The warming period associated with the end of the Ice Age, beginning about 10,000 years ago.
The second of the two Geologic Epochs of the Quaternary Period. It extends from the end of the Pleistocene Epoch (about 11,000 years ago) to the present. It is also referred to as the Recent Epoch.
Refers to a period of time between the present and 10,000 years before present. Applied to rocks or faults, this term indicates the period of rock formation or the time of most recent fault slip. Faults of this age are commonly considered active.
The name given to the last 11,000 years of the Earth's history, the time since the end of the last major glacial epoch, or "ice age." Since then, there have been small-scale climate shifts, notably the "Little Ice Age" between about 1450 and 1850 A.D. But in general, the Holocene has been a relatively warm period between ice ages. More.
Period of geologic time from the end of the Pleistocene Ice Age (about 8300 B.C.) until the present day.
About 10,000 years before the present.
The most recent geologic era; from about 10,000 years ago to the present. The Holocene is the latest epoch of the Quaternary period.
the present epoch of the Cenozoic era, after the Pleistocene epoch; the series of rocks formed during this epoch. [AHDOS
The period of geologic time since the last glaciation.
The Holocene (meaning "entirely recent" in Greek) is the most recent epoch in geologic time, lasting from about 11,000 years ago until the present day (the time since the last Ice Age).
The Holocene epoch is a geological period that extends from the present day back to about 10,000 radiocarbon years, approximately 11,430 ± 130 calendar years BP (between 9560 and 9300 BC). The Holocene is the fourth and last epoch of the Neogene period (second epoch of the unofficial Quaternary sub-era). Its name comes from the Greek words ὄλος ("holos") which means whole or entire and καινή ("kai-ne") which means new or recent.
