The Earth is entering a completely new geological era

The question most concerned by experts is when did Anthropocene begin?

The impact of humans on the natural environment is always far beyond the imagination of many people, even a new geological era of the Earth is believed to have begun to take shape starting in the mid-20th century and coming This has left imprints.

Specifically, scientists have speculated that the actions of humans throughout the developmental length changed the composition of the Earth's stratigraphic structure and brought our planet into a geological era. new called Anthropocene. This also marks the Holocene geological period lasting nearly 12 thousand years, which is very stable. According to geographic experts, Anthropocene has gradually emerged when new man-made materials and huge emissions have created new geological signs inside sediment and rock layers that are not existed during the Holocene.

Anthropocene actually appeared after the first two human atomic bombings occurred.

Specialist Colin Waters of the UK Department of Geology said: "New artificial materials like plastic, concrete or aluminum have left a lot of strange traces in the sediment. Besides, weapons explosions. Nuclear also overturned the stratigraphic system in many parts of the world, and greenhouse gas emissions also contributed a great deal to this transformation when it created weather effects that never appeared before. influence the nature of the Earth's strata ".

The question most concerned about is when did Anthropocene begin ? Since the time of wet rice civilization began to develop thousands of years ago or after Colombus discovered America in 1492, it is even thought that it was not until the end of the 18th century industrial revolution that it was answer. But most geologists agreed on the idea that Anthropocene actually appeared after the first two human atomic bombings occurred. Anthropocene may not even happen, but it will happen in the next few decades.

Currently, the International Commission on Geology of the United Nations says it will issue an official notice of this issue in a workshop this year. All scientific circles are waiting for this event as this is likely to be an important milestone in human history.
