Welcome to MooMooMath and ScienceMesozoic
EraIn this video I would like to talk about
the Mesozoic era on the geologic time scale.
The Mesozoic era is part of the Phanerozoic
Eon along with the Paleozoic and Cenozoic
eras.
Mesozoic means “middle animals” and is
a time of rapid change.
This era has also been called the age of reptiles
and age of dinosaurs
The Mesozoic era was roughly 65 million years
to 250 million years ago.
Let’s hit several highlights of this era
The Mesozoic era began after a mass extinction.
The shape of the continents looked different.
At the beginning of this era, there was a
super
Continent called Pangea.
Over time this supercontinent broke apart
and the continents started drifting apart.
The climate was warmer than today
The first mammals appear but are very small
and they don’t begin to thrive until the
Cenozoic era.
Dinosaurs also appear and begin to scatter
and prosper.
The dinosaur population peaks during this
era.
However, at the end of this era, the dinosaurs
die off
The first birds appear and begin to scatter
throughout the world.
The dominant plant is a cone-bearing tree
and plants
At the end of this era, flowering plants begin
to appear
So there we go the Mesozoic era,
Dinosaurs and cone-bearing plants
