What was the Mesozoic era?
The Mesozoic era was the start of dinosaurs and lizards. The Mesozoic era was also the breakup of Pangea. This period spans about 250 years ago. This era is divided up with Triassic, the Jurassic, and cretaceous.
What was the amount of volcanic activity and plant movement?
Coniferous plants have been around before this era but started to come more frequently.Lush plants would emerge with seeds allowing dinosaurs to eat them and weigh over 100 tons. There was a large amount of volcanic eruptions in the area of today India or Pakistan. Large eruptions would cause ash and toxic gasses.
What was the climate like during the Mesozoic time?
During the Mesozoic time the climate was very warm and no icebergs or ice caps existed.It was possibly 18 degrees ferehnheit warmer. There was a less curve in temp. between the equator and poles. Cooling started towards the end of the Mesozoic period.
Types of Species during the Mesozoic time:
What event caused Mass extinction during this time?
During the Mesozoic time there was a dramatic extinction. Around 70% of plant and animal species died. Scientists believed the extinction of plants and animals was caused by a meteorite impact.
What organisms disappeared?
What happened to the climate?
Toward the end of the Mesozoic era the climate became warmer and drier. Deserts began to appear on earth. Rainfall increased and causing oceans. Plants began to grow because of the moisture in the atmosphere
