Question

Which event occurred during the Mesozoic era?

Answer 1

Answer:

Pangaea, the super continent, began to break apart during the Mesozoic era.

Explanation:

• The distinct pieces of lands that today make seven different continents were once a single piece of land named Pangaea.

• Over a period of millions of years, this large lump of land gradually broke into several different pieces that slowly drifted apart from each other.

• Most of this breaking happened in the Mesozoic era that lasted for around 180 million-odd years. This period is said to have begun about 250 million years ago.
