At the beginning of the Triassic Period, with the continents locked together from pole-to-pole in the supercontinent of Pangea, the world is hot, flat, and very, very dry. But then 234 million years ago, the climate suddenly changed for the wetter.

Imagine being born near the tail end of this, living a couple of decades with nothing but constant rain, and then suddenly it just .... stops.
crazy thing is, we will never know, but whoever was there at that time, will only know. because at the time, keeping records and history was nearly to impossible.
I'm not an expert or anything, but I seriously doubt it would've just suddenly stopped. It's much more likely that there was a very gradual decline in the amount of rainfall, until it finally evened out to more "normal" levels.
@PBurn88 i agree its 2 millions years and can't stop in few years
@@PBurn88 Yes and also it didn't rain non-stop during 2 millions years. This is a misleading put-a-click video title. The rainfall increased a lot but 1400 mm/year is only the double of most places in northern Europe. Extremely far from a continuous rain.

Hahaha great comment
Here in the UK, we call this “Wednesday“
'Thursday' will be sunny with scattered showers
It's still raining in Seattle Washington. Ain't about to stop.
Here in the Netherlands we call this “everyday for 100 minutes”
We do indeed
Sunday today and the sun's out (that's why it's Sunday) I guarantee on Wednesday it'll be raining again.

2 million years is a time beyond comprehension, so long, and then you realize, that's just 0,00045% of Earth's age. 4500 million years is Earth's age.
For a man travelling at the speed of light, those 2 milion years would be around 90,000 (from his perspective). Interesting. A lot, but still fascinating.

Petroleum geologist here. The triassic is virtually devoid of petroleum prospects, so much so that we rarely ever look at it. "oh, triassic red beds again", "oh, triassic volcanics, meh!" move on... Jurassic, Cretaceous, and permain all much more interesting to us. As such, this video was interesting since we don't really get to work with the triassic much. I don't even remember any names of triassic subunits...

In south asia it's so warm in the whole year unless it rains. Monsoon often saves us from the heat. If it rains always, honestly I would love it because it means no more heat. :D I mostly like constant light rain with clouded sky than heavy rain.
