Capitolo 41
Quatrefages that "in such matter it is not great urgency,"
and you/he/she is waiting for the further discoveries.
So far in our revision we have noticed the you consolidate progress in
the forms of the life. In the age of Miocene we have seen all the types
of the life under present of man, and of the indications of the presence
of same man. We now have to learn what we am able of the Pliocene
You grow old, the last division of the Tertiary age.
The Pliocenes Age don't need to hold us long. Considerable changes
in the geography of Europe and America, you/he/she was going in before
during the age of Miocene, and the result was a true change in
climate. There was a you consolidate elevation of the Pacific coast
region of America, and, as a consequences one period of great
volcanic bursts in California and Oregon.<51 > To the same
time that the bridge that it connects Asia and America you/he/she has been truncate.<52>
In Europe the area of Mediterranean was elevated; but the earth
Greenland that connects with Europe sank, while allowing the cold waters
of the arctic one to communicate with the Sea of the North and the
Atlantic--England to that duration that forms part of the great one
peninsula that he extends north and west from Europe.<53 > The climate
during the age of Pliocene it was more coolness of that of the Miocene.
This is marked in the vegetation of that period. The palms and
the trees color cinnamon that in durations of Miocene they grew in Germany,
in bloom anybody more distant the north that Italy during the Pliocene.<54>
Conti DeSaporta of what it made special researches in the flora
this period, you find the rests of a growth of forest buried under
lava on the side of a mountain in Cantal Francia, to an elevation
of approximately four thousand feet above of the level of the sea.
This mainly consisted of pines. This probably show that
Northern Europe was covered with dark forests of pine.
In the same section him found, it buried volcanic ash under, a
vegetation that consists above all of deciduous trees--maples, alders,
