The Tract Of The Sundarbans Is Of Recent Origin, Raised By The Deposition Of Sediments Formed Due To Soil Erosion In The Himalayas. The Substratum Consists Mainly Of Quaternary Era Sediments, Sand And Silt Mixed With Marine Salt Deposits And Clay. Geologists Have Detected A Southeastern Slope And Tilting Of The Bengal Basin During The Tertiary. Because Of Neo-Tectonic Movements During The 10th-12th Century Ad, The Bengal Basin Titled Eastward. Evidence From Borehole Studies Indicate That While The Westernside Of The Sundarbans Is Relatively Stable, The Southeastern Corner Is An Active Sedimentary Area And Is Subsiding. (Link)

What Kaziranga Is Today Was Perhaps Once The Main Channel Of The Red River Which Habitually Changed Its Course Over The Century Due To Earthquakes At Various Points Of Time....This Volatile Movement Of The River Is Surely Responsible For The Heavy Deposition Of Silt And The Simultaneous Formation Of Beels Of Various Lengths And Depths In This Area. The Landmasses Formed By The Heavy Deposition Of Silt In This Riverine Area Thus Gradually Stabilised With The Natural Growth Of Saccharum And Other Grass Species. The Swift And Unpredictable River Still Erodes A Large Portion Of The Land Mass, Particularly In Those Areas Where Bigger Trees Have Not Yet Sprung Up...This On-Going Process Of Erosion And Deposition Of Silt On The Northern Boundary Of The Park, Which Is The Brahmaputra River Itself.

"The Modern Danube Delta Began Forming After 4,000 Bc In A Gulf Of The Black Sea, When The Sea Rose To Its Present Level. A Sandy Barrier Blocked The Danube Gulf Where The River Initially Built Its Delta. Upon Filling The Gulf With Sediments, The Delta Advanced Outside The Barrier-Blocked Estuary After 3,500 Bc Building Several Successive Lobes." (Wiki)

It Is Thought That Monarchs Were Originally Tropical Butterflies That Underwent Range Expansion. Scientists Are Not Sure How Long The Monarch's Spectacular Annual Migration To Mexico Has Been Occurring; It May Be As Old As 10,000 Years (When The Glaciers Last Retreated From North America) Or As Young As A Few Centuries

Coiba Island And The Smaller Islands In The Gulf Of Chiriquí Are Known As Landbridge Islands, Meaning That They Were Last Connected To The Mainland During The End Of The Pleistocene, Approximately 12,000 Years Ago. With A Direct Connection To Tierra Firme, They Shared A Common Flora And Fauna With The Continent, But Since Their Separation, New Ecological And Biological Processes Have Resulted In The Readjustment Of The Flora And Fauna (Nom File)

The Valley Of Flowers Has Its Own Microclimate That Was Made Posible Only After The End Of The Ice Age In The Himalayas

The Explosion Of Nearby Krakatau In 1883 Produced A Tsunami (Giant Wave) That Eliminated The Villages And Crops Of The Coastal Areas On The Western Peninsula, And Covered The Entire Area In A Layer Of Ash Averaging 30 Cm Thick. This Caused The Total Evacuation Of The Peninsula By Humans, Thereby Allowing It To Become A Repository For Much Of Java's Flora And Fauna, And Most Of The Remaining Lowland Forest On The Island.

The Np Is Almost Entirely A "Post Glacial" Creation " During The Last Ice Age, Continental Glaciers Surrounded The Park On All But Its West Side, With Layers Of Ice Up To 3,500 Feet Thick. This Scouring By The Continental Glaciers Created A Noticeably Sharp Rise From Sea Level On The Flanks Of The Mountains On The East And North Edges Of The Park. At The Same Time, Today's River Valleys Were Choked With Floes Of Ice From Alpine Glaciers, The Remnants Of Which Dot The Park's Mountains Today"

Yosemite As Seen Today Is Primarily A "Post Glacial" Creation. "When The Last Glacier Finally Melted Approximately 10,000 Years Ago, Rock Debris Dammed The Valley And Created Lake Yosemite. Tributary Creeks Plummeted Off Sheer Cliffs And Gave Birth To The Park's Famed Waterfalls. Sediment Continued To Fill The Lake Through Natural Processes Until It Eventually Formed The Yosemite Valley Floor."

The Coral Reefs We See Along The Red Sea Today Are Primarily Holocene

The Tienshan Mountains Were Uplifted, Folded, Metamorposed Etc In The Paleozoic Era (540-250mybp). But, From 25mybp, Faulting And Sedimentation Changed The Landscape. Then Finally The Entire Area Was Glaciated During The Late Pleistocene And Holocene. So What We See Today Is A Largely (But Of Course Not Completely) "Post Glacial" Holocene Landscape

"There Is Strong Evidence That Forest Cover Was Reduced During The Last Ice Age, Lasting From 1.6 Million To 10,000 Years Ago. While Forested Areas In The Congo River Basin Are Known To Have Persisted In Some Areas Called Refugia..........About 10,000 Years Ago, As The Last Ice Age Ended, Glaciers Receded And Rainfall Increased.

Much Cerrado Vegetation Developed In Prototype During The Cretaceous. Subsequently The Area It Covered Extended And Retracted Particularly In Exchange With Amazonian Biota Without Significant Underlying Geological Change. A Peak Of Biodiversity Was Reached By The Pleistocene. Climatic Changes And Human Activity (Particularly Hunting And Fire) Altered This Considerably Particularly Via The Loss Of Much Of The Megafauna. As A Result Today's Preserved Areas Are Significantly Holocene.
