中生代

Also known as Age of Reptiles, Age of Conifers, Mesozoic Era, Mesozoic Erathem

地史中晚于古生代，早于新生代的地质时代

AI overview

The Mesozoic Era is a major division of Earth's history that includes the Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous Periods and is famous as the age of dinosaurs and other large reptiles, along with specific plant types, a hot climate, and the breaking apart of the supercontinent Pangaea. It matters because it represents the middle chapter of complex life on Earth, falling between the Paleozoic and Cenozoic Eras, and shows how dramatically our planet's life forms and geography have changed over deep time.

中生代（Mesozoic）是显生宙的三個地质时代之一，可分為三叠纪，侏罗纪和白垩纪三个地質年代。中生代最早是由意大利地質學家所發表，當時名為第二紀（Secondary），以相對於現代的第四紀。在希臘文中，中生代意為「中間的」+「生物」。中生代介於古生代與新生代之間。由於這段時期的優勢動物是爬蟲類動物，尤其是恐龍，因此又稱為爬行動物時代（Age of the Reptiles）。中生代也是板塊、氣候、生物演化改變極大的時代。在中生代開始時，各大陸連接為一塊超大陸－盘古大陆。盤古大陸後來分裂成南北两片，北部大陆進一步分为北美和欧亚大陆，南部大陆分裂为南美、非洲、印度與馬達加斯加、澳洲和南极洲，只有澳洲没有和南极洲完全分裂。中生代的氣候非常溫暖，對動物的演化產生影響。
