Earth is a planet full of mysteries. But its history is no less interesting. The more scientists do research, the more shocking information they get. For scientists, an entire period of Earth’s history is no less mysterious. It is believed that during this period it rained for millions of years.
This thing has puzzled scientists for a long time. Life also flourished during this period, but they could not know till now how and why all this happened. But now they feel that they have solved this mystery.
This period of the Pangea continent took place 20 to 30 crore years ago. At that time there used to be only one huge continent on Earth. Scientists say that all the continents of today were connected during that period. Scientists believe that during that period, rain continued to fall on the earth for 10 to 20 lakh years.
Information about this period began in the 1970s and 1980s, when geologists studied old rocks deposited 232 to 234 million years ago. One team studied the old layers of the Alps and the other studied the old rock layers deposited in Britain and obtained similar results. There was a drought on the earth for a very long time and after that it rained.
During that period, volcanoes used to erupt a lot due to which the temperature remained high. (Symbolic photo: Canva)
The beginning of the Dinosaur Age was a very wet period, with the Carnian Pluvial Event or Carnian Pluvial Edition. At this time, it rained for a very long time due to many volcanic emissions. Along with moisture in the air, the temperature also increased due to which rain continued for millions of years.
According to a study published in the Journal of the Geological Society, this period was very beneficial for dinosaurs. This increased their diversity. During this period, many plants and animals died but dinosaurs got special benefit from it. In this period of earth’s history, events happened rapidly and apart from dinosaurs, turtles, crocodiles, lizards and mammals also flourished.
