Era Report - Mesozoic Era - WAC

The Mesozoic Era ranged from 245 MYA to 65 MYA. After the Mesozoic Era passed on the paleozoic era aroused. And before the Mesozoic Era was the Cenozoic era.The mesazoic era was divided into 3 different time periods. The first one was the Triassic period hen life outside the oceans started to diversty. The period after that was the Jurrastic period were the dinsaurs took our most of the land. Lastly the Cretaceuos period took place with the mass exctinction ending the Mesozoic era.

The climate during the mesazoic era was warmer, the seasons were more mild than they are today and the sea levels were much higher than they are now. There was also no polar ice. No glacial condition were not present during this era. It was very warm during this era. The super continet pangea started to drift apart forming the worlds oceans in between. Another big geological event was the major mountain building in north & south america.  Granitic Batholiths formed what is now the sierra nevada.The super continet "Pangea" was still intact for a bit during the Mesazoic era. After that, Pangea started to drift apart little by little.Motsly dinosaurs lived during this ear. Some of the first mammals were small omnivores. Fishes sahrks and marinereptiles such as the plesisaurs,ichthyosours, and the nothosours swam through the mesazoic seas.

The Mesozoic Era 9/17/17

Summary:
The Mesozoic Era was divided into 3 different time periods. The first one was the Triassic period when life outside the oceans started to diversify. The period after that was the  Jurassic period where the dinosaurs took over most of the land. Lastly the Cretaceous period took place with the mass exception ending the Mesozoic Era.During the Mesozoic Era the supercontinent Pangea was still intact for a while. But after anger started to drift apart forming the worlds oceans in between. Another big event was the major creation of mountain ranges in North and South America.

SP8: Obtain, evaluate and communicate information:
We did a worksheet in class on our Era of choice and we are using that information to communicate it within our group to make our final project product. The Era I have chosen was the Mesozoic Era and its one of the biggest out of earths time. This is because it is the time in which the dinosaurs flourished and filled the land which led to the mass extinction and then the evolution of humans.

Summary: The geologic time scale is a record of all the different life forms on the face of the planet. As well as geological events from earth long history. Relative age is when the age of a rock or life form is compared to the age of another life forms or rock. Absolute age is the absolute number of years the rock or life form was created.

In class we were showed a presentation on the Geologic Time Scale. Thought it wasn't about the entire concept just yet. It gave me a further understanding of the basics of the Geologic Time Scale. I took notes that would further help me in the process of learning about the Geologic Time Scale.
