The answer is - plateau.


The plateaus are relatively flat lands that are found on a higher altitude. The altitude can be anywhere from 600 meters above sea level and up to 4000+ meters above sea level. The reasons for their formation can be different, it can be from collision of tectonic plates and during the mountain formation in certain parts to form a flatter part, erosion, volcanic activity etc. Occasionally people confuse valleys with lower plateaus, especially in countries that are mostly on higher altitude because they seem like lowlands compared to the surrounding area. The best known plateau in the world is probably the Tibetan Plateau which is a consequence of the collision of the Eurasian and Indian continental plates, but there's also some relatively unknown plateau like Vitachevo that is a consequence of a volcano eruption.

During most of the Mesozoic Era, the Earth was ________. A.warmer than present B.about as warm as present C.cooler than present
suter [353]

Answer:

A.warmer than present

Explanation:

During most of the Mesozoic Era, the Earth was warmer than present.

This is because during the Mesozoic era the land were far away from water bodies which led to prevalence of deserts while today the land are much more closer to the water bodies. It’s a known fact that water bodies help in the thermoregulation and cooling of the atmosphere.

This is the main and feasible reason why the Earth was warmer in the Mesozoic era than now.
