Is the mississippian period in paleozoic era?
Yes. The Mississippian period is a part of the Paleozoic era, along with the Cambrian, Ordovician, Silurian, Devonian, Pennsylvanian, and Permian periods.
Climate distribution on Earth is primarily controlled by?
the weather over a period of time controls it.
What was the climate like during the tertiary period?
It was cold and there were 2-3 ice ages. The woolly mammoth, woolly rhino, and other extinct animals evolved in this period. it is divided into two periods, the Pleistocene which is the ice age and the Holocene or the present time. the hippo was one of the many animals to survive this age. other animals such as the elephant and rhinoceroses also survived. This period started about 2.6 million years ago. On the time line this is just a scratch.
What is the weather in the permain period?
The Permian period extends from 298.9 to 252.17 million years ago. it followed the Paleozoic period and came before the Triassic period. The climate at the time was very dry thanks to the destruction of rainforests. At the beginning of the Permian period, the Earth was still very cold but gradually warmed throughout the years.
What was the climate during the silurian period?
During the middle silurian the climate was much warmer, it was though of as a period where the climate became more stable, ending the previous pattern of random climatic fluctuations. A new greenhouse phase began, leading to a rise in global sea level form ice melt. However, in coastal areas where there was warm shallow waters, the conditions led to large evaporite deposits, although this was largely exclusive to equatorial regions. In this instance, plants that had lived in water had to adapt to life on land or die off.
What is Mississippian period?
The Mississippian Period was from about 345 million to 325 million years ago. It is part of the Paleozoic Era. The Mississippian and the Pennsylvanian (325 to 280 MYA) are often grouped together as the Carboniferous Period.

What separates the Mississippian period from the Pennsylvanian period?
The Carboniferous Period has been divided into the Lower Carboniferous (Mississippian) and the Upper Carboniferous (Pennsylvanian) based on the differing stratigraphy found on different continents. The Mississippian has a stratigraphy that was mostly limestone, and most coal-bearing deposits (not all) were found in the Pennsylvanian.
