Why did it rain for millions of years in prehistory
There was no heavy rain for millions of years in prehistory. This was fabricated by some completely unprofessional self-media to scare people’s attention. Generally speaking, "heavy rains of millions of years" refer to the Carnian flood event in the middle and late Triassic period. This was actually a major turning point in the global climate from drought to humidity, but it did not mean "rainfall". "Millions of years of rain", but the global climate was relatively humid for millions of years, with frequent rainy seasons and floods. To understand this, we have to start with the climate of the Triassic. The Triassic Period began 252 million years ago. It inherited the distribution pattern of land and sea from the Permian Period. Almost all the land on the earth was put together to form Pangea. From the Early Triassic to the Middle Triassic, Pangea became closer and closer, reaching its peak in the Middle Triassic about 240 million years ago.
