Question

In 2023, the beginning of this geologic time was defined based on core samples found at the (15[1])meromictic (15[1])Lake (15[1])Crawford in (15[1])Ontario. An early start to this geologic time is proposed by the (-5[1])Ruddiman hypothesis. One proposed start to this geologic time is at the (15[1])“Orbis Spike” caused by increased plant growth in (10[1])the Americas. A Working (15[1])Group named for this geologic time included Paul (15[1])Crutzen, who coined the term for it in a (*) 2000 (10[3]-5[1])newsletter. The “Great (10[1])Acceleration” (-5[1])is often (10[1])considered to have begun alongside the start of this epoch. According to one (10[1])definition, this epoch (10[1])began with the presence of plutonium found in soils from around 1950. For 10 (10[1])points, name this proposed (10[1])epoch of (10[1])geological time after the (10[1])Holocene, defined (10[1])by dramatic human impact (10[1])on the Earth’s climate. (10[2])■END■
