The Climate and Continents
The mesozoic era took place between 252 Mya and 66 Mya. The Climate during the mesozoic era was much warmer than it is today. During the Triassic period the temperature had swings of hot and cold periods. During the Jurassic period sea level changes caused hotter and wetter temperatures. During the Cretaceous period higher levels of Carbon dioxide causing higher temperatures. At the beginning of the ere the continents kind of looked like a dinosaur standing on a boot. At the end of the era they started to form their modern day shape and position with some places flooded.
The Plants and Animals
At the beginning of the era only low growing vegetation coniferous, and cycads trees were alive. Along with early frogs reptiles and crocodiles. Dinosaurs appeared during 220 mya. The overall diversity of animal and plant life increased. Coniferous trees flourished during this era. At the end of the era a mass extinction which was theorized to be caused by a meteor wiped out 60-80% of life.
