Eruptive activity during Holocene time has included numerous rhyolite and dacite lava flows erupted at high elevations inside and outside the caldera ; cinder cones and associated lava flows of basalt and basaltic andesite have resulted from eruptions at vents on the flanks of the shield.

The “ Sugarloaf cone on the ENE flank, and a cluster of about a dozen explosion pits and cinder cones at Point Kadin on the WNW flank ” is attributed to the Holocene age.

The Fort Selkirk Volcanic Field in central Yukon is the northernmost Holocene volcanic field in Canada, including the young active cinder cone, Volcano Mountain.

The modern volcano was constructed to the south of the late-Pleistocene to Holocene El Fraile cone.

The cone was breached sometime in the late Holocene, between 2 and 3. 5 ka, during the only Holocene event.

Pico Monumento, a remarkable peak in the form of a slightly inclined cylinder, rises from the west coast to 270 m. The youngest volcanism, at Vulcão do Paredão ( 217 m ) on the southeast tip of the island, constructed a pyroclastic cone with lava flows that are no older than the Holocene ( Almeida, 1961 ).

The Coso Volcanic Field shows stunning examples of volcanic activity, probably last active 30, 000 to 40, 000 years ago, but ash emission and small cone building episodes may be Holocene (> 10, 000 years ) in age.

* 1001 ± 40 years: Baitoushan volcano on what would be the Chinese-Korean border, erupts with a force of 6. 5, the fourth largest Holocene blast.

* Baitoushan volcano on what would be the Chinese-Korean border, erupts with a force of 6. 5, the fourth largest Holocene blast ( approximate date ).

The volcano is considered the most active in the Cascades within the Holocene epoch ( the last 10, 000 or so years ).

Three major plinian eruptions, the most recent of which took place about 800 AD, have occurred from Popocatépetl since the mid Holocene, accompanied by pyroclastic flows and voluminous lahars that swept basins below the volcano.

The island is a shield volcano, although it is not known if it is still active, and it has been categorized as either Holocene or historic, based on date samples ranging from 0. 1 to 0. 35 million years ago.

Belknap volcano is a Holocene example of the process which built the High Cascade Platform during the Pleistocene.

The source of these floods were likely an eruption of Bárðarbunga, the central volcano under the Vatnajökull glacier, in the late Holocene.

T ' au island, the youngest of the islands included within the National Park, is all that remains from the collapse of a shield volcano during Holocene time.

Cayambe, which has a permanent snow cap, is a Holocene compound volcano which has not erupted in historical times.

Concepción volcano rose in the early Holocene Epoch and, through continual eruptions, now reaches an altitude of 1 610 m making Ometepe the world's highest lake island.

The caldera was formed by a late-Pleistocene or early Holocene debris avalanche and associated pyroclastic flows that destroyed an ancestral Spurr volcano.

Mount Arayat is an extinct stratovolcano on Luzon Island, Philippines, rising to a height of There is no recorded eruption of the volcano, and its last activity probably dates to the Holocene era.

The date of the most recent eruption is uncertain, although Holocene activity is assigned to the volcano by many.

The Acotango volcano is heavily eroded, but a lava flow on its northern flank is morphologically young, suggesting Acotango was active in the Holocene.

Its composition is andesitic and dacitic, and its last eruption date is unknown, although the volcano is possibly Holocene.

The volcano may have last erupted during the Holocene, and thus it is probably a potentially active volcano.

A 3 km-wide summit caldera tops the volcano, and Holocene eruptions may have had occurred at Toney Mountain.

The volcano may have been active as late as the Holocene ( last 10, 000 years ), and may be only presently dormant.

Andesitic pyroclastic-flow and debris flow deposits occur in glaciated valleys on the north and south sides of the volcano indicating a Holocene age for the caldera-forming eruption.

A lack of extant erosion shows that Mount Cleveland is likely a Holocene volcano, forming within the last 10, 000 years.

Many Holocene lava flows are associated with this latter phase ; the two most notable are directed North and South of the volcano.

Diego Garcia is the above-water rim of a coral atoll composed of Holocene coral rubble and sand to the depth of about 36 metres ( 120 ft ), overlaying Pleistocene limestone deposited at the then-sea level on top of a seamount rising approximately 1, 800 metres ( 6, 000 ft ) from the floor of the Indian Ocean.

Some older researchers including Richard Wright argue on the contrary that diprotodont remains from several sites, such as Tambar Springs and Trinkey and Lime Springs suggest that Diprotodon survived much longer, into the Holocene.

The Holocene ( the latest epoch ) is too small to be shown clearly on this timeline.

The Holocene can be subdivided into five time intervals, or chronozones, based on climatic fluctuations:

The Holocene – Anthropocene boundary is contested, with some commentators asserting significant human influence on climate for much of what is normally regarded as the Holocene Epoch.

Other commentators place the Holocene – Anthropocene boundary at the industrial revolution while also saying that " Formal adoption of this term in the near future will largely depend on its utility, particularly to earth scientists working on late Holocene successions.

The Neolithic followed the terminal Holocene Epipaleolithic period, beginning with the rise of farming, which produced the " Neolithic Revolution ", and ending when metal tools became widespread in the Copper Age ( chalcolithic ) or Bronze Age or developing directly into the Iron Age, depending on the geographical region.

Until the Holocene, tigers also lived in Borneo, as well as on the island of Palawan in the Philippines.

, Switzerland, some 10000 years ago in post-glacial Pleistocene / Holocene, the largest so far described in the alps and on dry land that can be easily identified in a modestly eroded state.

Three species of Malagasy Hippopotamus became extinct during the Holocene on Madagascar, one of them within the past 1, 000 years.

Another extinct species, Dow's Puffin ( Fratercula dowi ) was found on the Channel Islands of California until the Late Pleistocene or early Holocene.

In California, for example, new building construction has been prohibited directly on or near faults that have moved within the Holocene Epoch ( the last 11, 000 years ) ( Hart and Bryant, 1997 ).

The arrival of humans on these island groups often resulted in disruption of the indigenous ecosystems and waves of species extinctions ( see Holocene extinction event ).

Fossils of the Northern Bald Ibis have been found at a Holocene ( c. 10, 000 years ago ) site in southern France, in middle Pleistocene ( c. 900, 000 ago ) strata in Sicily, and in Pliocene-Pleistocene boundary ( c. 1. 8 million years ago ) deposits on the Mediterranean coast of Spain.

The glaciation thus caused a breaking-off of the summer monsoon with all the global-climatic consequences, e. g. the pluvials in the Sahara, the expansion of the Thar desert, the heavier dust influx into the Arabian Sea etc., and also the downward shifting of the timber line and all forest-belts from the alpine-boreal forests as far down as to the semi-humid mediterranean forest which has replaced the Holocene monsoon-tropical forests on the Indian subcontinent.

Those arguing for earlier dates posit that the proposed Anthropocene may have begun as early as 14, 000 to 15, 000 years before present, based on lithospheric evidence ; this has led other scientists to suggest that " the onset of the Anthropocene should be extended back many thousand years "; this would be closely synchronous with the current term, Holocene.

Ruddiman's work has, in turn, been challenged on the grounds that comparison with an earlier interglaciation (" Stage 11 ", aroundpproximately 400, 000 years ago ) suggest that 16, 000 more years must elapse before the current Holocene interglaciation comes to an end, and that thus the early anthropogenic hypothesis is invalid.
