Best Answer

Plate tectonic processes changed Earth's surface but also changed Earth's climate, too. Many species of coral did not adapt to the cooler climate.

What were the dominant land animals in Jurassic and Cretaceous periods?

In many ways the same as our own. Plant life was very abundant, especially conifers. Fungus life was probably the same as it is now. Insect life was also very abundent, as was bacterial life. Mammalian and amphibian life would be affected by reptiles such as the brachiosaurus and the stegosaurus. Amphibian, fish and other sea life would be affected by pliosaurs and marine crocodiles-though the deep water was probably similar to the way it is now. Bird life had yet to evolve.
