The Earth's climate during the late carboniferous period was very similar to the climate of today, but during the early part there were some differences. Atmospheric CO_2 was a little higher, and so was global temperature.

- SHARLENE ROMERO-PANCAN
Hot, steamy, with abundant rainfall, tropical in nature, perfect for plant and forest growth.
Mostly like a tropical rainforest, but the trees were different than today.
The animals of the carbo-crap period were all horses.
There was lots of water, but there WA not land.
one interesting fact is that carboniferous means "coal bearing".
Warm, Humid, Tropical, and wet.
very carboniferous
what are some dangers in the carboniferous period
Carboniferous
Pangea formed in the carboniferous period
The Carboniferous period marks the start of new life forms as organisms rapidly diversify while terrestrial life has been well-established during the Devonian period.
plants
The 2nd half's climate was during glaciation
the carboniferous period is when dead plants were compressed and made into coal
what are some dangers in the carboniferous period
Carboniferous means carbon bearing. Large coal deposits were laid down then, hence the name.
beause amphibians were the top species during the Carboniferous Period
the carboniferous period had crinoids,echinoderms but today we don't have it
