Quarter – the youngest geological time that lasts today (2 ± 0,2 – 0 mLN. Years). It is divided into Pleistocene and Holuce. Pleistocene sediments are widely distributed with lake-sickets of jackals, sands, mil, dusty clays, peat and desalination in the Ohrid, Prespa, Dojran, Skopje, Pelagonia and other valleys, where their thickness reaches a maximum of 60-80 m. Pleistocene is characterized by rhythmic changes in the climate that conditioned the shift of periods of test (glaciation) of the northern hemisphere with periods of warming and melting of the chairs. During the Glacement Rice-Wirm, the terrain in Macedonia higher than 1,200 m were covered with ice tables under whose action created by glacial and glacophual sediments, which are preserved on Shar Planina, Korab, Stogovo-Karaorman, Jablanica, Pelister, Jakupica, Nedo- Kozuf, German-Osogovo-Ruen, etc. Holocene is a post-icy time that lasts the last 10,000 years. Holocene river and torrential deposits of jackals, sands and shogs are developed along the valleys of our larger rivers and in most valleys. Lit.: N. Domurdain, T. Serafimovski, CB.
