Dinosaurs
Which group of giants once lived during the triassic and Jurassic periods?
Dinosaurs were the giant animals that once lived during the Triassic and Jurassic periods. I hope this answer helped you even though it was a fairly simple question!
What group of giant animals once lived in the Triassic and Jurassic periods?
That was the age of the reptiles the "Dinosaurs".
What is the name of the giant supeconinent of the triassic period?
Pangea
What kind of dinosaurs live in the mesozoic era?
The Mesozoic era is divided into three periods Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous. During the early Triassic, corals appeared. Seed plants dominated the land, in the northern hemisphere, conifers flourished. Glossopteris was the dominant southern hemisphere tree during the Triassic period. Many new dinosaurs appeared during the Jurassic period. Giant plant eating dinosaurs dominated the Earth. carnivores such as Allosaurus and Composognathus were plentiful. Many bird-like dinosaurs also thrived during this period. The Cretaceous period saw the heyday of the dinosaurs. Many new species of dinosaurs evolved during this period. New dinosaurs such as, the deadly t-rex and the extremely large Giganotosaurus appeared for the first time as did Triceratops and many others.
What period or era did giant sequoia first appear?
I don't know when the giant sequoia evolved. A close relative, the coastal redwood, evolved in China during the Jurassic period, more than 145 million years ago.
What are some giant reptiles that lived during the Mesozoic era?
In the water: many of the same types of animals we see today in the waters (though not the same species): fish, shellfish, corals, etc. On land: archosaurs (reptile ancestors of dinosaurs), synapsid reptiles (reptile ancestors of mammals), lizards, crocodiles, and eventually dinosaurs, pterosaurs and mammals.Plant life included cycads, ferns, ginkos and conifers. (There were no deciduous trees, grass, or flowering plants.)
What did the earth's surface look like in the Jurassic time period?
During the Triassic, almost all the Earth's land mass was concentrated into a single supercontinent centered more or less on the equator, called Pangaea. From the east a vast gulf entered Pangaea, the Tethys sea. It opened farther westward in the mid-Triassic, at the expense of the shrinking Paleo-Tethys Ocean, an ocean that existed during the Paleozoic. The remaining shores were surrounded by the world-ocean known as Panthalassa. All the deep-ocean sediments laid down during the Triassic have disappeared through subduction of oceanic plates; thus, very little is known of the Triassic open ocean. The supercontinent Pangaea was rifting during the Triassic-especially late in the period-but had not yet separated. The first nonmarine sediments in the rift that marks the initial break-up of Pangaea-which separated New Jersey from Morocco-are of Late Triassic age; in the U.S., these thick sediments comprise the Newark Group. Because of the limited shoreline of one super-continental mass, Triassic marine deposits are globally relatively rare, despite their prominence in Western Europe, where the Triassic was first studied. In North America, for example, marine deposits are limited to a few exposures in the west. Thus Triassic stratigraphy is mostly based on organisms living in lagoons and hypersaline environments, such as Estheria crustaceans.At the beginning of the Mesozoic Era, Africa was joined with Earth's other continents in Pangaea. Africa shared the supercontinent's relatively uniform fauna which was dominated by theropods, prosauropods and primitive ornithischians by the close of the Triassic period. Late Triassic fossils are found through-out Africa, but are more common in the south than north. The boundary separating the Triassic and Jurassic marks the advent of an extinction event with global impact, although African strata from this time period have not been thoroughly studied.some what like panagea
What are some important events that happened during the Jurassic period?
The worst catastrophe that occurred during the Jurassic period was at the start, the Triassic-Jurassic Extinct Event, where changing climates caused the extinction of all crusotarsan archosaurs other than crocodilians, and the extinction of most remaining theraspids and many giant amphibians. It is possible that the climate change was due to changes in carbon dioxide levels caused by volcanic eruptions.
Were frogs around during the time of the dinosaurs?
Frog fossils have been found dating to the Jurassic period. The Jurassic period was the middle period in the middle of the Mesozoic. The Mesozoic was the era in which all dinosaurs lived, so frogs and dinosaurs did coexist.
I know how but why did the spinosaurus kill the t-rex in Jurassic Park 3?
The producers of Jurassic Park 3 felt that Tyrannosaurus had been used enough in the series so they decided to go with another giant carnivore for the 3rd installment. They decided to use Spinosaurus, because many other species of giant therapod resemble Tyrannosaurus and they did not want the audience to get the new dinosaur confused with T-rex.
Is the giant panda diurnal?
Yes, the Giant panda is diurnal as it is most active during the day.
