In the late Paleozoic Era, at about the time life was beginning to move onto land, all of the continents drifted together. What is the name we use for that supercontinent? What is the name for the northern part of it? What is the name for the southern part? Later, the continent broke up, and as the northern part separated from the southern part, a waterway was formed. It is called the                    Sea (it no longer exists). When North America drifted to the northwest and broke away from Europe, another waterway was formed. It is called the                          Ocean (this still exists).

Expert Solution
Step 1: Introduction

The late Paleozoic Era is the second era after Precambrian Era. In this, there are six periods. They are Cambrian, Silurian, Ordovician, Carboniferous, Devonian & Permian.  The occurrence of reptiles took place in this era. Along with it, non-flowering plants also took place. In this era, there were great changes that took place. In this era, plants started to grow, the breakup of the supercontinent took place. Thus, this era is the mark of changes that can be considered in the history of geology.
