How was the continents in the Tertiary?
During the Tertiary period, the Earth's continents were continuing to drift apart due to plate tectonics. This movement led to the modern configuration of continents that we see today. The Tertiary period also saw dramatic shifts in climate and the diversification of mammals.
How where the continents arranged in the tertiary period?
During the Tertiary period, which lasted from about 66 million to 2.6 million years ago, the continents were already in positions similar to today but with some differences. For example, North America and Eurasia were connected via the Bering land bridge, and South America was still drifting towards its collision with North America. Antarctica was largely ice-free, while Australia was closer to Antarctica.

What was the geography of the Tertiary period?
Earth's geography changed dramatically between the beginning and the end of the Tertiary. I could give you a long winded description, but I think you would prefer maps. Under "Related Links" there will be a map for the early Tertiary (called the Paleogene), and one for the later Tertiary (Neogene). P.S. The Tertiary began 65.5 million years ago and ended 2.6 million years ago.
