After the great Permian extinction 248 million years ago, at the end of the Paleozoic Era, plants began to evolve rapidly. Some of these have actually survived into modern times with very little change. Many others were overwhelmed with the appearance of flowering plants at the end of the Mesozoic.
Four groups of plants dominated Triassic and Jurassic landscapes:
Ferns were the dominant understory plants, with a variety of foliage types.
Ferns, Tree ferns, Cycads and cycadoides created the middle story of foliage.
The over story of the Triassic forest was formed by a variety of conifers that are most closely related to the modern genera Araucaria (The genus that includes the Norfolk Island Pine)
Possibly one of the earliest flowering plants from the Mesozoic Era that still exists today is the Ginkgo.

What animals survive in the mesozoic era?
basically all the animals you see in our world today. some have evolved some havent.
What was earth like during the mesozoic era?
During the Mesozoic era, dinosaurs, pterosaurs, and large marine reptiles diversified. Early mammals evolved. Eventually, flowering plants evolved. At the end, dinosaurs died out, leaving mammals to fill the many empty niches.
What is the longest - Jurassic period Carboniferous period Paleozoic era or Mesozoic era?
The Paleozoic era represents the longest timespan from the list. It ran from 542 to 251 million years ago, a total time of 291 million years. It is also worth noting that an era always represents a longer timespan than a period and in fact an era will be composed of a number of periods. For completeness, the other time spans mentioned in the question are given further detail below: The Mesozoic era ran from 251 to 65.5 million years ago. A timespan of 185.5 millions years The Carboniferous period ran from 359.2 to 299 million years ago, A timespan of 60.2 millions years. The Carboniferous period is one of the subdivisions of the Paleozoic era. The Jurassic period ran from 199.6 to 145.5 million years ago. A timespan of 54.1 millions years. The Jurassic period is one of the subdivisions of the Mesozoic era. For further information, please see the related links.
Why do plants need photosynthes to survive?
See, photosynthes makes plants food. Without it, the plant would die.

In which era did supercontinent Pangaea break up?
Pangaea started to break up during the Triassic Period. It continued to split apart in the Jurassic Period and was almost complete in breaking up in the Cretaceous Period. After that it formed into the landmasses that we see today. The Mesozoic era.
What type of rocks were around in the Jurassic time period?
You could see Dinosaurs of all kinds, and it was the end of the Mesozoic era so you could see a giant astroid plummet to earth. :)
What is cretaceous period?
The Cretaceous Period was the 3rd geological period in the Mesozoic Era. The end of the period would see the extinction of all non-avian dinosaurs as well as all the large marine reptiles, pterosaurs as well many other species of animals and plants. It lasted from 145.5 to 65.5 million years ago. It was the time between 2 extinction events, the smaller End Triassic Extinction event and the larger K-T Exinction event.
What might you see in an era?
An "era" is a period of time thus what you would see during an era would depend on what that period was and as you have not told us this we can not answer your question in full.
Were mammals around when the dinosaurs were around?
No. Dinosaurs existed in the Mesozoic era and became extinct in the last period of Mesozoic era ie. in Cretaceous period. However horse evolution started in the first period of the next era ie. Cenozoic. So, no poor dinosaurs didn't get to see any horses :p

After a fire that produces extensive damage the first plants you would expect to see growing would be?
After a fire that produces extensive damage the first plants you would expect to see growing would be small plants. These plants being grass.

What did the cretaceous look like?
it looked like there were dinosaurs and pangaea was breaking up and that's it. :) It was hot and dry, mostly. This is the era where you'd see pterodactyls, triceratops, and a lot of other dinosaurs. This is the Mesozoic era, otherwise known as "the Age of Reptiles", so you'd see more dinosaurs than other creatures. I only know the dinosaurs, not really the flora or environment.
