Geologists have unearthed evidence suggesting a remarkable period of continuous rainfall lasting one to two million years around 232-4 million years ago. Known as the Carnian pluvial event, this epoch coincided with the dawn of the age of dinosaurs and witnessed a surge in global humidity, likely triggered by massive volcanic eruptions. The resulting spike in global warming led to increased ocean temperatures and atmospheric moisture, fostering a wetter climate. This prolonged rain spell, detailed in the Journal of the Geological Society, played a pivotal role in shaping the evolutionary trajectory of terrestrial life, particularly dinosaurs, by facilitating their diversification and expansion across continents following previous extinction events.
