    Anthropocene Outline Geological Epochs: (Jhersey + Jeremiah)

    Uploaded by

    Anthony Capicenio
    The document outlines the key points in defining and providing evidence for the Anthropocene geological epoch. It discusses how geological epochs are defined, when the term "Anthropocene" was first used, and how the Anthropocene represents a new epoch defined by human impacts on the Earth. Examples of evidence for the Anthropocene provided include effects of nuclear weapons and fossil fuels, new materials like concrete and plastics, human changes to ecology through deforestation, agriculture and mining, and current mass extinction rates. It also notes there is still debate within the geological community about whether the Anthropocene is a legitimate new epoch.
