Once upon a time ………….. and 252 to 201 million years ago there was a single land mass called Pangaea.
‘Pangaea was a supercontinent that existed during the late Paleozoic and early Mesozoic eras. It assembled from earlier continental units approximately 335 million years ago, and it began to break apart about 175 million years ago. In contrast to the present Earth and its distribution of continental mass, Pangaea was centered on the Equator and surrounded by the super ocean Panthalassa. Pangaea is the most recent supercontinent to have existed and the first to be reconstructed by geologists.’ (Source)
‘The climate was relatively hot and dry, and much of the land was covered with large deserts. Unlike today, there were no polar ice caps. It was in this environment that the reptiles known as dinosaurs first evolved. Reptiles tend to flourish in hot climates because their skin is less porous than, for example, mammal skin, so it loses less water in the heat. Reptile kidneys are also better at conserving water.
This period of time was called the Triassic Period and towards the end of this period a series of earthquakes and massive volcanic eruptions caused Pangaea to slowly begin to break into two. This was the birth of the North Atlantic Ocean.’ (Source)
