Cenozoic Era | Geological time scale with events |

Cenozoic EraIn this video I would like to talk about the Cenozoic era on the geologic time scale.
The Cenozoic era is the most recent era and is part of the Phanerozoic Eon along with the Paleozoic and Mesozoic eras.
The Cenozoic era lasted roughly 65 million years.
The Cenozoic era is most often described as the “ age of mammals” but could also be called the
“Age of flowering plants” or the age of insects.
Let’s hit several highlights of this era
Although the first mammals appear in the Mesozoic era they begin to thrive during the Cenozoic era and spread throughout the world.
Birds become more diverse and becoming more diverse.
In addition flowering plants also begin to thrive and spread to all corners of the Earth
Along with insects.
Apes and Humans also appear
During this era, the Earth is cooler and ice ages occur and the formation of glaciers.
In addition, the continents have moved into their modern location and several mountain ranges including the Alps, Himalayas, and the Rocky mountains
