It was a geologic period with a comparatively warm climate, resulting in high eustatic sea levels that shaped many shallow inland water bodies.In the Late Cretaceous, the many contemporary U.S. states were beneath the waves of the Western Interior Seaway.

The breakup of Pangaea, a supercontinent that existed around 335 million years ago, is a significant event in Earth’s geological history. Pangaea began to break apart during the Mesozoic Era, forming the continents as we recognize them today. The process of breakup and continental drift occurred due to the movement of tectonic plates beneath the Earth’s surface.
