- The location of large continental masses such as supercontinents can significantly affect the global climate. For instance, since warmer temperature hastens chemical weathering in which carbon dioxide reacts with exposed rocks, having more landscapes near the equator may have the effect of removing atmospheric carbon dioxide and hence global cooling. The subduction process may also affect global climate XX. When sedimentary rock containing high levels of calcium carbonate is subducted, more carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere by volcanoes, causing global warming.

- 21000, in the Quaternary period and Late Pleistocene Epoch. The relative sea level at this period stood at -120m. This condition meant
- 15600, it was at this period that the Bering Land Bridge was not covered with ice sheets. Since humans traversed this vast area of land by foot, 15600 was the last period when they could cross it since it was after that covered in ice.
- According to National Geographic (2020), the Anthropocene Epoch is an unofficial unit of geological time denting the most recent period in earth’s history when the actions and conduct of man began to have a significant impact on the planet’s climate and ecosystem. The term Anthropocene is a combination of two Greek words, anthropo for man and cene implying new.
