It began with a great extinction at the end of the Cambrian and ended with another great extinction, before the Silurian. -
During the Cambrian period there was fragmentation of Rodinia (Pangaea I). In this period, -
The Phanerzoic began with the explosion of life of the Cambrian period. Phanerzoic means "visible life". Large coastal areas with favorable climates appeared that favored the appearance of almost all groups of animals and vegetables of the Cambrian.

In the Silurian Period begins the conquest of the emerging lands. Vascular plants (Pteridophytes) and terrestrial arthropods manage to colonize the mainland, being able to leave. Due to the explosion of plant life and the conquest of the earth, the atmosphere reaches a 21% of O2, as at present.. The first vertebrates appear, which are fish 21% of O2, as at present.. The first vertebrates appear, which are fish. -

-
Warm and humid climate favouring the development of large coniferous and fern forests which will give rise to coal deposits.. The first reptiles appear. -
The first freshwater fish appeared.
The first amphibians emerged from fish that could resist out of water. Thus the vertebrates begin their conquest of the emerging lands. -

In the Triassic, Pangaea begins to fragment into the continents we know in the today.. Different groups of animals, such as dinosaurs, appeared (230 m.a.), ammonoids (225 m.a.) and pterosaurs (205 m.a.) -
The supercontent Pangea was formed which, together with the great volcanic activity that occurred in the Permian, greatly increased the greenhouse effect.
La formación de Pangea provocó la orogenia hercínica, que formó muchas cadenas montañosas. -
The supercontent Pangea was formed which, together with the great volcanic activity that occurred in the Permian, greatly increased the greenhouse effect.
The formation of Pangaea caused the Hercinic orogeny, which formed many mountain ranges. -
-
When eating from the Mesozoic Era, the climate was extremely arid, but when the fragmentation of Pangea occurred it changed to a humid tropical climate. There was a warm, glaciated climate in this Age.

The fracture and separation of the Atlantic Ocean begins.
Antarctica and Australia are separated from Africa.
Appearance of the first bony fish, mammals and birds. -
-
The Angiosperms appeared
In the seas, 60% of the known oil was generated.
South America and Africa are separated. -
Diversification of the mammals
The horses showed up 54 m.a. The elephants appeared 50 meters ago. The whales appeared 50 meters ago. -
Diversification of the genus Homo occurred
Man conquers all continents.
Glaciations occur. -
-
The continents that had fragmented from Pangaea continued their separation to their present position.
When the fragmented continents of Pangaea collided, mountain ranges such as the Alps, Pyrenees and Himalayas formed. Alpine orogeny developed.
The Atlantic Ocean continues to expand.
