Quiz 9 Answer

Describe the three different geological factors that contributed to the extreme greenhouse conditions and high sea levels in the Cretaceous.
Your Answer:
This includes warm climate that results from the release of tremendous methane from the deep sea. Normally, it is trapped, but during Cretaceous, a lot of methane was released and got to the atmosphere, causing so much warmth across the entire world and adding up too many methane gas into the atmosphere. 
Plate collision also resulted to the increase in sea level.
