Mesozoic Era
Our next period of time is called “The Mesozoic Era”. This era is nicknamed “The age of Reptiles” and “The age of Dinosaurs”. This era started 250 MYA. This time period was much,much warmer than it is today! The Triassic period of time which was a chunk in the Mesozoic Had major temperature swings. In the jurassic chunk of time (in the Mesozoic Era) the sea rose and that caused a warmer more stable climate. The continents were still drifting but almost how they are now. The landforms that changed the most were mountains that were hills rose.
Dinosaurs were roaming land in the Mesozoic era and the meteor that killed them all hit them at exactly the best time. If the meteor had hit even a foot to a different side or a millisecond later than it did we wouldn’t be here today. Dinosaurs would still be ruling the land! I the mesozoic era mammals began to appear and plants began to flourish. At the end of the period a mass extinction happened killing all the dinosaurs and most other animals. But animals like chimps and other monkeys survived and flourished.
