Scientists say that a new epoch 'Anthropocene' has started in the 1950s
Geology is the branch of science where we study the Earth and the history of its origin and evolution to the present age. Geological time scales are huge and are measured in packets of million years. There are periods of ice ages and sea level changes associated with the mass extinction of species. Dinosaurs were on the Earth for a long time but extinct due to various changes on Earth. In Geology, different ages are characterized by certain parameters based on the age of rocks and fossils studied by Geologists.Now a group of scientists have made some observations in a small lake in Canada and suggested that the age of Anthropocene started somewhere in the 1950s. It is mentioned that the existing age or epoch known as Holocene (which started 11700 back came to an end in the 1950s). The point is that humans by their actions made a great impact on Earth, its Geology, and the ecosystem.
This study would add a new chapter in the Geology subject.
