I am not positive, but when you look in pictures and illustrations you usually see grassy plains, mostly rainforests, and sometimes dry cracked deserts. . And you have to think about man-made damage, there weren't any people to destroy land for uses, so the plants and living things, even nonliving organisms were untouched and very overgrown. So if this is for a school report or something, it would probably be the safest thing to go with rainforests.

The Jurassic landscape was much greener and more lush than in the Triassic. There was a wider variety of vegetation. The tall tree ferns made up the second understory of trees, and the smaller ferns and horsetails were the most common low growing foliage. There were successive accumulations of marine sandstones, limestones, and shales.
It was rather different from modern ecosystems. The 420 BLAZING NOSCOPE content of the atmosphere was about twice as high as it is today. This allowed the plants and animals to grow to monumental sizes. There were no broad- leafed trees in the forests as they had yet to evolve. Most of the land was coniferous forest interrupted by scattered prairies of ferns. Flowers were also non-existant, making a world of greens and browns. Pangea was just splitting up, so it was probably very flat. It was also very hot and humid probably sprinkling deserts over the landscapes close to the equator. Of course, if you were in the mid-western United States or Europe, you were probably underwater as those areas were nothing more than Island chains 150 million years ago. And then, of course, there were the dinosaurs.
In the Jurassic period, the earth was much warmer because carbon dioxide levels were higher, and there was no glaciation except on the highest mountaintops. Even Antarctica was warm enough for dinosaurs, although crocodilians and certain strictly tropical organisms couldn't live there. The Atlantic Ocean started to form during the Jurassic. From what we know of the fossil record, North America and East Africa were both plains with a wet and dry season, similar to today's savannas. Flowering plants were not widespread yet, if they had even evolved, so the primary trees were conifers, followed by cycads and ginkgoes. Forested areas would have mostly been near riverbanks. Other plants would have included ferns, which would have not only grown in the forests, but covered the open plains, because there was no grass in the Jurassic.
Personally, I cannot find anything about the Jurassic period. All I get is the life of the dinosaurs, which I am really getting sick of hearing about. if you find something, please let me know. My project is due today, and I still have nothing about the landscape. THANKS.
The Triassic was a large expanse of time for the for the whole of the planet. Just as today there are lots of environments to be found over the planet and this was also true of the Earth during Triassic times.
warm and wet.
Warmer climate
in the Jurassic period the atmosphere was about 14.7. in the Jurassic period the atmosphere was about 14.7.
The Jurassic period is named for the Jura Mountains in Europe. The limestone in those mountains dates to the Jurassic.
Jurassic period
after Jurrasic period it is the Cretaceous period
The Middle Jurassic Epoch (175.6 - 161.2Ma) was in the Jurassic Period (199.6 - 145.5Ma).
The biggest dinosaur in the Jurassic period were the gigantic sauropods like the famous Diplodocus.
The Pangaea split is the difference between the Cretaceous period and the Jurassic period. The split took place in the Jurassic period.
No!!! There were no people alive in the Jurassic period.
The Jurassic Period followed the Triassic.
After the Triassic period, the Jurassic period began, followed by the Cretaceous.
The Allosaurus lived 150 million years ago. That was during the Jurassic period. The Jurassic period was part of the Mesozoic era.
