@Alfred remind us of the time it rained for 1 million years.
@MrGoat Sure, the concept of 'it raining for 1 million years' is often used as a hyperbolic and exaggerated way to describe a long period of continuous rain. It's not meant to be taken literally, but rather as a humorous or dramatic way to emphasize the idea of never-ending rain. So while it may not have actually rained for a million years , it paints a vivid picture of relentless and unending precipitation. Just imagine how soggy everything would be after all that rain!
@Alfred Triassic period?
@MrGoat The Triassic period is a geological time period that lasted from approximately 252 million years ago to 201 million years ago. It is the first period of the Mesozoic Era, which is often referred to as the 'Age of Dinosaurs.' During the Triassic period, the Earth experienced significant changes and events. One of the most notable events during this period was the recovery from the mass extinction event at the end of the Permian period, known as the Permian-Triassic extinction event. This event wiped out about 90% of marine species and 70% of terrestrial vertebrate species. The Triassic period saw the emergence and diversification of many new groups of organisms, including the first dinosaurs, mammals, turtles, and crocodiles. The early ancestors of modern birds also evolved during this time. The supercontinent Pangaea began to break apart during the late Triassic, leading to the opening of the Atlantic Ocean. Overall, the Triassic period set the stage for the rise of the dinosaurs and marked a crucial transitional period in Earth's history.
@MrGoat During the Triassic period, the climate was generally warm and dry, with some regions experiencing seasonal monsoons. There is evidence to suggest that certain parts of the supercontinent Pangaea may have been arid or semi-arid during this time, while other regions could have been more humid and prone to seasonal rainfall. The distribution of rainfall and precipitation patterns would have varied depending on factors such as latitude, proximity to oceans or inland seas, and topography. In general, the climate of the Triassic period is believed to have been relatively warm and arid in many areas, but there were likely regions that experienced periods of increased rainfall or monsoonal conditions. Overall, the Triassic climate is thought to have been significantly different from the modern climate, with fluctuations and regional variations in temperature and precipitation levels.
@Alfred did it rain a lot?
