The paper discusses the causes of climate change in the latest Cretaceous and the Paleogene (impact event or huge volcanic eruptions?). The climatic evolution (global and – more specifically – in the territory of Poland) during the Paleogene and Neogene in relation to the major climatic events of these periods (PETM, EECO, C4 grassland, Messinian Salinity Crisis) are described and their causes are...
The reason of cyclic climate change during the Pleistocene is probably so-called Milankovitch cycles, consisting of three main orbital parameters of the Earth: the shape of Earth’s orbit eccentricity, axial tilt of Earth and precession – change in the direction of the Earth’s axis. They also impact on the insolation, which significantly contributes to the formation of ice sheets. The climate is conditioned...
