With Gondwana, there was also another super continent called Laurasia. Also, the air temperature was around 120 degrees with the equator temperature being around 110 degrees]]> 2018-11-02 18:06:42 UTC https://padlet.com/655volanskyj1/3i3u4dplf4ui/wish/299931838 Plant/Animal life 498rottyr1 https://padlet.com/655volanskyj1/3i3u4dplf4ui/wish/299931918 The Ordovician period brought a large amount of life to the world in the form of brachiopod, snails, clams, and conodonts. There were also many types of plants such as green or red algae.

This event caused about 85% of the animals in the world at the time to die. This extinction is said to be caused in two waves. The first wave was the rapid cooling of the Earth not allowing animals to adapt and thus causing them to die, and the rapid decreasing sea levels which caused large amounts of sea life to die]]> 2018-11-02 18:14:14 UTC https://padlet.com/655volanskyj1/3i3u4dplf4ui/wish/299935112 655volanskyj1 https://padlet.com/655volanskyj1/3i3u4dplf4ui/wish/299945500 2018-11-02 18:36:23 UTC https://padlet.com/655volanskyj1/3i3u4dplf4ui/wish/299945500
