The Stuffing's of November. The Permian period Conditions Become Dry On Pangea

Pangea was shaped like a large “C.” It surrounded the Tethys Sea. The rest of the Earth was covered by a huge ocean named Panthalassa. Even though the ocean covered much of the earth, Pangea was so large that the interior did not benefit from the ocean waters. Deserts were places in the center of Pangea where the temperatures changed from very cold to very hot. In some places there was rarely or never any rain. Over all the earth was dry during the Permian Period.
