__**The Abiotic During the Jurassic Period**__
We always seem to talk about the dinosaurs, but never talk about what is one of the most important things, the abiotic. The world we live in today looked like the one that existed millions of years ago. All the continents were combined forming a super-continent named Pangaea. The oceans were all mixed and in different locations, just as the continents. During the Jurassic Period, all the continents were near the Equator. Surprisingly Massachusetts was near Africa, until North America started too separated from Pangaea. The Jurassic Period was the time when all the continents where pulling apart from Pangaea, and came to look closer to what they look like today. The weather was also something completely different. There were no ice caps, so the sea level was higher than today. It was constantly hot and moist all year round. The desserts and seasonal wet conditions were in Africa, South America, and Southern North America. Even though the weather was uncomfortable, life was still present and in an abundant manner.
