That Time It Rained for Two Million Years

The video explores Earth's climate 250 million years ago during the Triassic period, focusing on the Carnian Pluvial Episode, a 2-million-year period of intense rainfall. This episode led to significant changes in flora and fauna, paving the way for dinosaur dominance. The video also discusses the role of volcanic eruptions in climate change and the eventual stabilization of the climate, marking the end of the Carnian Pluvial Episode.
