Quaternary

Abstract In the Cenozoic, the continents of the northern hemisphere shifted towards the North Pole, and Antarctica occupied the south polar section. This situation, plus climatic changes, were favourable for the formation of the permanent polar ice sheets of Arctica and Antarctica in the Pliocene an...
