"THE AGE OF
REPTILES"
•
The climate of the
Mesozoic Era was generally warmer and more tropical than
what
we experience on Earth today.
•
The seasons were very
mild.
•
There was no polar ice.
•
Sea level was higher.
•
Greenhouse conditions
existed and there could have been higher concentrations of
carbon
dioxide in the atmosphere.
•
Polar regions had
seasonal climates with windswept forests during the winter and
cool
damp rainforests during the summer.
There
are three periods in the Mesozoic Era:
- Triassic -Plateosaurus
- Jurassic -Brachiosaurus
- Cretaceous -Lambeosaurus
Dinosaur
