Climate Evolution on the Geological Timescale and the Role of Paleogeographic Changes

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Paleoclimatology

Part of the book series: Frontiers in Earth Sciences ((FRONTIERS))

Abstract

Throughout geological time, major climate changes have marked the history of the Earth (Fig. 1.1). Although paleoclimate markers provide us with the broad outlines of these changes, their causes could be manifold as feedback mechanisms occur between the different compartments of the climate system.
