The Earth's climate during the late carboniferous period was very similar to the climate of today, but during the early part there were some differences. Atmospheric CO_2 was a little higher, and so was global temperature.

What else can I help you with?
What is the atmosphere in the carboniferous period?
During the Carboniferous period, the atmosphere had higher oxygen levels compared to today. The increase in oxygen levels during this time supported the growth of large insects and amphibians. The high concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere during the Carboniferous period also contributed to the warm climate and lush vegetation of that time.
Was the Carboniferous Period Hot or Cold?
The Carboniferous Period was generally warm and humid, with high levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide contributing to a greenhouse effect. This warm climate supported the growth of dense forests and allowed for the formation of extensive coal deposits.
How long ago was the Carboniferous period?
The Carboniferous is considered to have started 354 million years ago and ended 290 million years ago.
How was the carboniferous period different from the devonian period?
The Carboniferous period followed the Devonian period and was characterized by extensive coal forests and the emergence of early reptiles. The Devonian period is known for the diversification of fish and the development of forests on land.
What did rhe surface of earth look like during the carboniferous period?
During the Carboniferous period, the Earth's surface was covered with vast swampy forests comprised mainly of ferns, club mosses, and horsetails. These forests eventually turned into the coal deposits that we mine today. The climate was warm and humid, and the landmasses were mostly concentrated into a supercontinent known as Pangaea.
What was It like in the second half of the carboniferous period?
The 2nd half's climate was during glaciation
What is carboniferous period?
the carboniferous period is when dead plants were compressed and made into coal
What is the atmosphere in the carboniferous period?
During the Carboniferous period, the atmosphere had higher oxygen levels compared to today. The increase in oxygen levels during this time supported the growth of large insects and amphibians. The high concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere during the Carboniferous period also contributed to the warm climate and lush vegetation of that time.
Why is the Carboniferous period called the Carboniferous period?
Carboniferous means carbon bearing. Large coal deposits were laid down then, hence the name.
Why is the Carboniferous period known as 'The Age of Amphibians?
beause amphibians were the top species during the Carboniferous Period
What are the uses of Carboniferous?
The Carboniferous period, also known as the Coal Age, contributed to the formation of vast coal deposits that are still used today as a source of energy. Additionally, the period was characterized by the diversification of plant and animal species, leading to the development of new ecosystems and adaptations. The Carboniferous also played a significant role in shaping Earth's climate and geology.
Carboniferous period was subdivided into what two periods?
The Carboniferous period is subdivided into the Mississippian and the Pennsylvanian periods.
Was the Carboniferous Period Hot or Cold?
The Carboniferous Period was generally warm and humid, with high levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide contributing to a greenhouse effect. This warm climate supported the growth of dense forests and allowed for the formation of extensive coal deposits.
What was the environment like compared to the present carboniferous?
the carboniferous period had crinoids,echinoderms but today we don't have it
How long ago was the Carboniferous period?
The Carboniferous is considered to have started 354 million years ago and ended 290 million years ago.
The carboniferous time period came in which era?
paleozoic
What mark did the carboniferous period end?
The Dinosaurs came
