Pleistocene Epoch

Pleistocene Epoch:

Pleistocene Epoch, earlier and major of the two epochs that constitute the Quaternary Period of Earth’s history, an epoch during which a succession of glacial and interglacial climatic cycles occurred.

The Pleistocene experienced the most important single environmental event since the human species has been on Earth: The oscillation between glaciation and interglacial during the Pleistocene Epoch.

Coastal environments during the Pleistocene were controlled in large part by the fluctuating level of the sea. 

The Pleistocene Epoch is best known as a time during which extensive ice sheets and other glaciers formed repeatedly on the landmasses and has been informally referred to as the “Great Ice Age.”

India is basically under tropical monsoonal climatic regime. Palaeoclimate varies in the subcontinent.

There are three major geomorphological zones in India. They are the Himalayan region, the Indo-gangetic plain and the Deccan land mass.
