<span>It is true that lower temperatures lead to slower soil formation. The lower the temperature in the air is, the slower the soil is going to form. In order for soil to form properly and completely, it needs to have some warmth because heat helps this process run faster. </span>
Embryophyta is a clade within the Phragmoplastophyta, a larger clade that also includes several green algae groups. Embryophytes are the plants growing on land which include hornworts, liverworts, gymnosperms, flowering plants etc while green algae mostly thrive in aquatic environment.
The conduction of water requires vascular tissue called xylem. In green algae, it is not necessary to have water conducting tissue as the entire body is in contact with water. However in embryophytes, having a vascular tissue is an adaptation that ensures to provide water to the higher parts of the plant which is not directly in contact with the soil.
The major evolutionary episode corresponding most closely in time with the formation of Pangaea was the Permian Extinctions.
The Permian Extinctions happened around 300 million years ago and lasted for around 15 million years. It eliminated over 95 percent of water life and 70 percent of species on land. It was one of the largest extinctions in the history of Earth.
