paleontologists think but nobody knows its just a theory
Paleozoic - climate change Mesozoic - meteor
meteorite collision
The meteorite collision at the end of the Mesozoic era caused significant changes in the atmosphere by releasing immense amounts of debris and gases that led to global cooling and darkening of the skies, disrupting photosynthesis and causing mass extinctions. The biosphere was greatly impacted as the sudden environmental changes wiped out around 75% of all species, including dinosaurs, and allowed for the rise of new species and ecosystems in the following Cenozoic era.
The meteorite collision at the end of the Mesozoic era led to widespread fires, dust, and debris in the atmosphere, resulting in a significant temperature drop and altered sunlight reaching the Earth's surface. This caused a mass extinction event, including the extinction of the dinosaurs and about 75% of all species, leading to significant changes in the Earth's biosphere and ecosystem dynamics.
The Cenozoic era was not a subdivision of the Mesozoic era. The Mesozoic era is subdivided into the Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous periods.
Mesozoic Era
The Paleozoic precedes the Mesozoic. And our current era, the Cenozoic, follows the Mesozoic.
The Mesozoic Era is known as the Age of Reptiles.
It really wasn't an era. An Era was a much longer period of time. It was called the "Jurassic Period".
The Paleozoic precedes the Mesozoic. And our current era, the Cenozoic, follows the Mesozoic.
The dinosaurs lived in the Mesozoic Era, which includes the Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous periods. The first dinosaurs appeared in the late Triassic and went extinct at the end of the Cretaceous.
It was part of the Mesozoic Era.
